I don't understand how a router could help... it's been.. probably 8
years since I law saw a router with dial-up modem functionality.

If someone wants to share internet with a dial-up modem, they have to
configure dial-up networking (wvdial still used for this?) then use
iptables to masquerade the internet on the NIC (only one NIC needed)
