Using DSL connection.

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to use Verizon DSL modem from Linux.  I
have this modem connected to a 3Com ethernet hub, which connects to 3
machines.  Verizon DSL has software for PC and Mac, and both work.  Each
machine would get its own IP address.  Not sure if this should be the
case, or Verizon just doesn't block a second (and beyond) machine to get
connected at the same time and get an additional IP address.  In any
case, there is no software provided for Linux.  I tried to set   
up the network configuration the way I did on the PC, but obviously it
didn't work out.  I was wondering if there is a way to use the DSL
connection, or I am stuck with a modem?  Thanks!
