Is it possible to network a dial-up internet connection? I know you can use a router or hub for broadband connections but is it possible to so similar with a dial-up connection?

Yes, in a word.

What operating system(s)?

I’m not certain I’ll be able to give good guidance, but knowing what you are running will help someone more knowledgeable than I

Windows 98 SE is the operating system. All they want to do is be able to have the two computers have access to the internet simultaneously – using a dial-up internet service provider.

Yes you can. There is a router, SMC Barricade I think, that has the ability to share a dial-up connection AND a broadband connection and is a Network print server

These routers cost too much in my opinion. Just set up Internet connection sharing on one PC (the Host) and use the disk Win98 has you create to set up the Client. The only thing is that for the client to access the internet the Host must be on. The Host does not have to have the internet on because during your initial setup there will be a check box for allowing the client to force the host to dial the internet.

I haven’t tried this software myself, but I understand PROXY from AnalogX is a very easy program to do this.
