Todd it sounds like what you want to do is not have a shared modem, but 
instead have the ability to connect to the internet through another machine. 
There are several software packages available for Windows NT that will allow 
this.
Microsoft offers a Proxy Server, however it is costly and would be an over 
kill for your needs. WinGate however in your situation would be free and is a 
pretty powerful proxy server. http://deerfield.com/wingate/ is where you want 
to head.
