And there is a section there (in the modem configuration interface)
called "Home Network", with the following:
Ethernet Interface Ethernet
ethport1
(100Mbps)
Notwithstanding, in the modem there is no physical way of connecting
another cable.
Your DSL provider probably offers an option to replace this model with
one that has a built-in 4-port switch and perhaps wireless, or you can
put any of the inexpensive home wired or wireless NAT routers behind
this one. They will take the single IP address currently used for your
connection on the provider's side and let you add a number of additional
computers on your side with a private network range (typically
192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255). When you access the internet the router
will use NAT (network address translation) to make all connections
appear to be from your single public address.
