you need to read some documentation in order to see what you need.
physically, you only need to buy a HUB, plus one ethernet card for each PC
you have - with the linux machine having 2 ethernet cards.
you need to ask bezeq to get an etehrnet-ADSL modem. in the forms they
send u, mark that u do NOT have a USB port on your machine.
then, you'll connect bezeq's ADSL modem with a crossover cable to one
etehrnet card of your linux PC, and connect the 2nd ethernet card of your
linux PC to an ethernet hub, and connect the other PCs to that hub as well
(all those connections, using regular ethernet cables - not crossed ones).
regarding documentation, you'll want to read the following:
1. Ethernet-howto (go to www.linux.org.il/LDP/ , choose the HOWTOs
section, look for this one) - for setting up ethernet on linux.
2. linux bezeq ADSL howto - www.pointer.co.il/~mulix/ , find the howto
there.
3. firewall howto - same location as #1 - to see how to set up basic
firewalling on your linux system.
4. masquerading HOWTO - to support the address translation for the rest of
your PCs. same loaction as #1.
note that firewalling commands change between linux kernel versions.
you'll probably be using kernel 2.2.X, which uses 'ipchains' to configure
its firewall.
after lots of reading, you'll be able to set things up.
