Is it possible to share dial up internet with a wireless router? If so, is it worth it? :nervous:
Dial up networking?

yes, but its a little convuluted.
unless your router has a phone jack you'll have to do it this way.
Connect the modem cable from the phone jack to a spare pc's modem card port, just as you would normally, then you need to enable the computer as a gateway, you need a network card also which should then connect to the routers wan connection, and voila. If you need it more in depth let me know, haven't done this for 6 yrs.
obviously if you have an external modem, you can do without the pc, but the modem needs and rj45 jack.

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. 
Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
