TECH: server internet connections

[Ellen Hanson <ehanson@linknet.kitsap.lib.wa.us>]

Dear LM_Net members,

My principal is writing a grant to include Internet access in the library.
We have basic network knowledge, but need to know the answer to the
following:

If there is a dedicated phone line to the server, and 5 work stations
connected to that server, can the 5 computers simultaneously use that one
phone line accessing different Web sites? (I realize that it won't be "at
the same time", but that data will come to each computer.)  Or, does each
work station need a a separate phone line?

Thanks for your help.
