Configure the computer which is linked to both networks, ie. the local one
and the one of your ISP's, as a gateway machine and make the rest of the
computers route their traffic to the outside world through the gateway. 
In most cases all you need to do is to reconfigure your TCP/IP stacks. 
For instance, in AmiTCP's configuration file you'll just need to change 
GATEWAY=NO to GATEWAY=YES, configure the two (or more) networking devices 
and create routes for them. For more specific advice you'll need to be 
more specific yourself too.
