The wires in the telephone cable simply do not allow for it.

10929 2001-04-07 06:17:00 Actually you can,but not quite like that.If you have Win 98SE you have a thing called Internet Connection Sharing,and that means if your 2 computers are networked together,you can both share the same phone line,but using the one modem.It is not as simple as it sounds,as plenty of people have all sorts of problems getting it to work properly,while others have had no problems.It may be worth looking into.
