I'm not sure I understand what you are saying.  Most ISPs will not allow the
same user account to connect more than once at a time, for obvious reasons. 
Even those which allow this technically probably prohibit it under their
customer agreements and terms of service.

Linux does have support for IP masquerading, where a whole network can be
hidden behind a machine with a single IP address, but this seems to be the
opposite of what you want to do.

What is an "L/P?"
