Connect the DSL modem to a switch or hub, and connect several
machines to that, each configured statically to use the /29 subnet
which your ISP is making available to you.
This is assuming your DSL modem deals with any PPPoE/PPPoA login
stuff itself...if not, you might have to get a broadband router or
config a FreeBSD box to do the PPPoE stuff and then route the subnet
internally (perhaps using RFC-1918 addresses via natd & the
redirect_address directive).
