Best solution:

Network the 6 computers, and get cable or DSL for Internet access.

Next best solution:

Network the computers, and get a separate phone line dedicated to Internet access. You can use Internet Connection Sharing or something similar to share a single modem on one of the computers. Another option is a 3Com "Lan Modem" on the network - this will share very nicely without software.

Whatever you do, you should take all modem, credit card machine, and fax lines OFF the phone system and use dedicated lines.
