SBS 2003 and modem sharing

As I understand it SBS 2003 does not have a solution for modem sharing. My situation is very simple in that I only need 30 users to have access to 1 outgoing only modem. Before I invest in SBS 2003 is there a solution out there?

SBS will handle the internet access for the workstations never mind how. It
can cope with a modem, router and broadband.

But Marina, maybe they don't just want access to the internet? Microsoft did
make a bit of a song and dance about NOT having modem sharing in SBS2003.
so if you want to access a modem for, say direct banking, the SBS2003 won't
do the job without a 3rd party solution (perhaps Linux on a 486??)

Thank you both for replying. I guess my first post wasn't very clear. I don't need modem sharing for web access, our DSL can handle that. I need 30 users to have access to a modem so we can connect (call) 419-xxx-xxxx. Is there a way, 3rd party or otherwise, I can share one modem with 30 people? Of course only one user can use the modem at any one time. That is expected and acceptable.
