I had a simmilar problem, and in my view you don't need to go to W2k. I used a 3rd party modem sharing utility called "Rideway" (download at itserv.com) In this app, (and it should be the case in all of them) you must just ensure that you open up port 23 (default port for Telnet). This should work fine.
