Question about 'Setting up Dial-Up Networking'

Before I lay the groundwork I'd like to ask about sharing a DSL connection via dial
up from another system in the same building.
I would like to allow another computer using a modem to dial into a second computer
on another floor and access its DSL connection.
1: Is this possible?
2: Would the accessing system be required first to connect to the computer first,
then open the application that allows Internet access (providing that the service
is not active and the modem is on-in which case BOTH computers will be using it)?
I'm a bit confused about how to get something like this working. I can't use a router
because the computers are 4 floors apart and there is no way to run cable. The only
alternative is for one system to connect to the other and then access its services.
Am I on the right track here?

Actually, I am trying to do the same thing...leave a direct connection between two
modems and share the High Speed connection. NO ONE seems to understand what exactly
I am talking about...I asked PC Techs all over the place and they tried to sell me
on PC Anywhere...HELLO! It's not files I am wanting to share, it's a High Speed connection.
It looks very logical when I do up a diagram, but to actually do it seems to be unlogical.
I think if we find an External Modem with a WAN/LAN jack also, we can connect the
modem to the ISDL phoneline and connect the LAN cable to the Router and the router
would see that there is a new computer on the Network. What's up with these new
Technicians who are building these things...it's possible I know it is. I think
the only problem would be...Service Providers would loose a lot of customers because
we'd be sharing our high speed with multiple people.
