If I have DSL coming into a business---and I have 5 stations that need to be connected to that DSL line---and the 5 stations are currently wired as 5 phone lines--at the 66 block-can I just daisy chain the DSL line to those 5 stations?

Thanks
 
no.
Totally different method will be required to share it.
router and hub and different cabling and network cards.

Give the wrong symptoms, get the wrong solutions.
 
These actually are for credit card reader machines---so still I would need to have a router after the DSL line--and ethernet going out to each credit card reader (they are ethernet compatible)???

Thanks
 
Yes. There will be some type of DSL modem which will yield a single Ethernet connection. To share it, you need a DSL router and Ethernet cable. Most likely, a SOHO-type router such as Linksys or Netgear will be sufficient. Then all devices can access the Internet at the same time.
