    Yes its possible. Use a router with a built-in switch. Usually 4 ports. Connect the ethernet port of each PC to the router, and connect the router to your wireless broadband modem.

    So you have internet phone service?

    Unfortunately, I have no experience with that.

    Although it should be able to connect through the router also, assuming that the internet phone is like an "internet appliance" (i.e. your PC).
