You definitely need an upstream and probably a range of IPs to assign to your dialup or wireless clients. As well you will need a router of some sort. I know someone these ends who is doing something similar. They have a BSD machine and a router with a modem rack. he has one routable IP from his upstream and a leased line to his upstream. He then assigns dialup clients with rfc1918 private IPs and masquearades them with NAT through his BSD machine.
