With your USB modem, and Internet Connection Sharing, you could install a Network Card in the machine with the modem. This network card could then be connected to a hub, and would then provide the rest of your network with a shared internet connection. The only drawback is that the machine with the modem would have to be ON in order for the others to have a connection. This is a simple and cheap solution, but some don't like the fact that one machine has to be on.
Short of doing this, a new modem and a hub with built-in router would be the best solution.
