How to use dial-up networking as a shared resource?

Let's say I have two computers. computer A has a modem and a network card; computer B has a network card. The two computers communicate via a crossover ethernet cable. The only access to the Internet is via computer A's modem over dial-up networking. Is there a way for computer B to access the Internet through computer A's dial-up networking connection (aside from VNC or remote desktop)?





(no comments about how archaic this is; it's not my computers)

Reply:Internet connection sharing- in Windows XP it is in my network places, right click properties on the connection you use, and it is in there. The computer with the connection acts as a router, and does NAT for the other computers. The computers will have 192.168.X.XX IP addresses, and will be on the same subnet, so you will not be able to have both computers playing together in an online game, but normal surfing will not be affected. And, you can also share up to 10 computers like that. I am quite sure earlier Windows have the same thing, but I just don't know for sure how.
