He is asking modem sharing, not access the Internet with one modem in
the LAN.

As I know, Windows NT do not allow COM port sharing but OS/2 do. But you
need to have both the Server and Workstation are OS/2. A Windows
clients  cannot do this. But I don't think OS/2 is a good workstation
platform. So hope you have a better alternative.
