wirless networkig w/o live connection

I am trying to help my friend set up a home network, following are the specs:

*OS: winXP
*Linksys Wirless Access/ Point Router (Befw11s4)
*2 NIC cards
*2 Modems 56K
*2 PCs

***Problem:
Normally, when I set up a network with wirless router, I would simply link the cable modem to the wireless WAN port on the router with a CAT 5 network cable, then connect one of the pc with a cable or via 802.11 b PCI card. However, my friend doesn't have cable or DSL, which mean he doesn't have constant live connection to the internet (use 56K modem). So, how would I set up a home network for him via wireless router?

Thanks in advance
 
Put a NIC in his PC, run cable (X-Over probably unless the switched ports are autosensing) from the NIC to a LAN port on the AP/Rotuer combo. Disable the DHCP service on the router and run ICS on the main PC.
