Yes. You can use something like Diald for dial-on-demand, or pppd
itself. Depending on the type of access you want to give to the other
machines, you can use IP masquarading or proxy servers. You will probably
want it to handle e-mail as well, for which there are various options,
depending on how your ISP delivers your mail.
