My cable company is bugging out.. so much so where I installed AOL to use a phone line to get on the internet.
They're not open till monday.
Lets say I used a connector and split my phone line to have one line go to computer A and one line goin to computer B, would this work?

not to have both machines on simultaneously it won't.
You could however get an external modem that has an ethernet connection and "split" that to a hub or switch then network your machines inside your house.

In linux you use IPTABLES to create a route and then set the default gateway of other PC's to match the IP of your computer with the connection. I dont remember the exact syntax but something like: (this isn't secure BTW)...
