Maybe. There are only a few routers that have provisions for a dial-up connection. USR, 3COM, Asante, SMC, are the ones I know of.
They should all have multiple ports on them. The part where I'm not clear is: I believe using the ports on the router to connect all the machines results in separate networks for each machine. The machines would all be able to connect to the Internet/ISP, but I don't know about talking amongst themselves. Clarification would be appreciated from other, more knowledgeable listers.
