If you have squid running on the gateway system, and the "remote" systems have (possibly static) routes to the gateway system's address (or network) to override their default routes, then the "remote systems" will use the dialup link to get to the gateway. You should then be able to configure the software on them to proxy through the gateway. I'm sorry if this isn't very clear, but then again, I'm not sure I understand the question properly.
