Can you explain what you want to do in a little more detail?

Okay, so you're talking about web traffic specifically.  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.
