recently, Computer Times (a fortnightly publication for computers users in
Singapore) had a cover story on a product, called the Proxy Router. this
product might be the one you are looking for. its report is summarized
below for you :-
_____________________________________________________________________
			
			Simultaneous Net Access
	Cheaper Internet access for network users in small-and-medium companies is
now possible with a new router from American networking firm, Proteon Inc.
Called Proxy Router, it can connect, simultaneously, an unlimited number of
users to the Internet using a single dial-up line and an ordinary 28.8Kbps
or higher modem, said Mr. Peter Lim, area manager of Proteon. 
	However, the initial investment for a Proxy Router is high. It costs
around US$1800. According to Mr. Lim, the Proxy Router will be available
from this month. Initial demos to users here(Singapore) and in Malaysia
have met with favorable response. Demos of 15 users simultaneously
connected to the Internet via this device and a dial-up line went smoothly.
	The Proxy Router can be installed in any Ethernet network and it is
network operating system independent.

however, maybe its cost might scare you. because it can connect unlimited
no. of users, where you only have 3, i don't think it's suitable for you to
try this gizmo.
maybe networking them is a better idea.
