Thanks, guys, John and Chris suggested two strategies, and a little googling satisfied me that it is a feasible thing to pursue. A few years ago I briefly had DSL using the strategy John suggested, but at the moment I need to provide internet access to more than one machine, so Chris's plan seems the way to go, particularly since I already have an independent router that is accessible. Thanks again for your responses.
