Connecting DSL modem to a wired home

I am not a networking specialist so please bear with me.

  1. My home is wired with Cat5 ethernet cabling and outlets provided at various rooms.
  2. The other end of the cable is raw(just a dangling wire with no cover).
  3. I have a netgear switch with me.
  4. I am intending to subscribe to DSL service.

How can I fix the cover for the ethernet cables(instructions on what wire(yellow/white etc goes where). Can I connect the DSL modem(out) to the netgear switch(this is not a router) and then connect the ethernet cables to the out ports on the switch.

Will this combination work. I have 2 PCs at home and want to utilize the fact that my home is already wired(atleast CAT5 wiring). Thanks for the help in advance.
