I'm not sure (we need more info), but my guesses are that 1- the
modem-router has built in firewall that does NATing, 2- that it
configures via a browser, 3- it has a built-in DHCP server to auto
configure you clients, 4- that it does dial on demand. If those
assumptions are correct, your computers will not know anything about
dial-up, they will only know about the router, i.e will get their IP,
gateway, and DNS settings from the router. Whenever they want internet
access, their traffic will cause the modem-router to dial-up. So all
you would need to do is correctly configure your modem-router via a
browser with the correct user/password, and check other settings as
needed. BTW, I have never heard of such a device, what brand is it?

Since the modem is not connected to either machine, it will only be
dial-up for the router, not for either clients.
