Quick question with FAX and LAN

Had a problem i was hoping on working around if possible.

i have a few PC's here on Cable connection,but only one is able to use the ISA 56K Modem that i have laying around.
and naturally the one that has an ISA slot don't have a printer hooked up.
and don't really want to unhook the printer from one for another.

i was wanting know if it was possible to get a FAX thru the PC that has the 56K,but it actually print from the PC that has the printer installed?

My Router has the Printer Port if need be.

Specs:

RoadRunner Cable - SMC Router with Printer Port
Win98SE - 56K - NIC to Router
Win98se - NIC to Router - with printer

Steps to do this,or a link would be appreciated.

If you hook the printer to the Router, ALL the PC's would be able to
print to the printer.

All thats required is to install the drivers on each machine and create a
port that points to the IP address of the printer port on the Router rather
than the parallel port.
