Well the trick is to find a USB modem brand that Linux supports, a USB hub
which is cascadable, with the most number of ports, and you have yourself

http://www.linux-usb.org says something about the Zoom USB modem, and 3Com
as the best bet yet for these types.
As for a howto, just use portslave and your fav radius variant and you're
