Well that is not strictly true...

You can run a PPPeE client on one machine - that is also setup as the
gateway, likely with an aliased IP address, then still plug the modem
and the other computers into the hub. As long as the other computers use
the gateway computer as their gateway.

(I know this is true, because that is *exactly* how my satellite modem
is setup...)
