extra cable to the phone line. if you can help plz e-mail
me on . I would very much appriciate

Yes, you can do this.

You can install internet connection sharing on the machine that has the
modem, it can connect to the internet and the other computer connected
through the LAN can share that admittedly dog slow connection.

Given the format of this question it might be easier to use a longer
phone wire though.
