This may be a dumb answer, but all you really need is a couple of
phone cable splitters (line - sharing plugs) to give all 3 Pc's access
to the line and then they all  will be able to dial out.....
Only one PC at a time will be able to get online unless you network
them, and if a 2nd PC tries to dial out when one is already online ,
you usually lose the line to the active modem!
