Yes and no. You can't use the router the typical way, because the cable
would normally go from the wall to the modem, and then from the modem to the
router. Then, you would send a cable from the router to the computer (and
another cable from the router to the computer if you have more than one
computer). 

But, you can share the connection using Internet Connection Sharing or even
a proxy program. One I recommend is called Proxy by AnalogX... and free:

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- router/hub question

I would like to ask a question ,so as to answer the one that put to 
me;namely,can a hub or router be used to share a dialup connection-one of my
coworkers 
is considering buying another computer and doesn't want to invest in
broadband 
just yet.
TIA,
