Dial up Router

[Guest]

I have a peer to peer home network. I want to use a router so that both
computers can connect to the internet with out having to have both computers
on. The remote computer can dial up on its own, but if the host wants to
access the internet, I have to shut everything down, and restart the internet
connection. I've been told that a router will allow each computer to work
indepentant of each other, however I can only locate routers for high speed
connections. Is there anything for a 56k dial up? there is no chance of DSL
out this far.

Here's a router for dial-up connections, with a built-in modem and two
Ethernet ports:

It works with any dial-up ISP that you can access with a standard
Windows dial-up connection. It doesn't work with ISPs that use
proprietary dialers, like AOL.

If you have more than two computers, connect a hub or switch to one of
the router's Ethernet ports.

Or look at the SMC Barricade. Mine has 4 ethernet ports, a
connection for a dial-up modem (or a broadband one) and a
printer server too, so 1 printer can serve all your computers.
