Sure it is posable to do this. There are several packages that
allow the Win98 machine to behave as a term server and a router.
But on the other hand you have everything you need in the FBSD box
(except the modem)
You need to read in the handbook (/usr/share/doc/handbook) about
attatching terminals to your FBSD system and about ppp on a dedecated
connection. Then you can move your modem to the FBSD box and set it up
as a demand dialup router.
