A few months ago I had the exact same problem, (c.f Need
help to connect to ISP!). There is a way to have all the computers on
your ethernet see the whole Internet when your linux box is connected.
You will only need to connect to your ISP with linux (like you probably
allready do) and all other machines (I have macs, Win95, and Sun) will be
able to Netscape, telnet... The solution is IP Masquerading ! You need a
recent kernel version, and a recent version of the Net-Tools.
good luck
