I see your problem this way:
You have two machines somewhere, and only one dial-up connection. You want to access the internet with both machines, but using only one for the dial-up connection.

If this is the problem, then the answer is:
configure one of machines to use PPP to access the internet [/etc/ppp, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/ppp/options.ttyS0
On this machine you should enable ip forwarding and NAT/MASQUERADING, or you should install a proxy software [squid for example].
On the second machine you just have to configure the DNS resolver /etc/resolv.conf, the default gateway and you're done. Or you can make use of the proxy installed on the first machine [tell your browser to use HTTP proxy at IP_address_of_first_machine: port. Of course, you must have on both machines configured in the same private IP space addressing.

I tried several routing options, but none of them seem to work. I am not sure why.

Does anybody know a good web site to get information on routing in linux and routing in solaris?

The man pages alone do not give you enough information on routing for this particular scheme.

cachemgr.cgi

cachemgr.cgi(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   cachemgr.cgi(8)

NAME

       cachemgr.cgi - squid HTTP proxy manager interface

SYNOPSIS

       http://your.server/cgi-bin/cachemgr.cgi

DESCRIPTION

       The  cache  manager (cachemgr.cgi) is a CGI utility for displaying statistics about the Squid HTTP proxy process as it runs. The cache man-
       ager is a convenient way to manage the cache and view statistics without logging into the server.

FILES

       ./cachemgr.conf
       /etc/squid/cachemgr.conf
	      The access configuration file defining which Squid servers may be managed via this  cachemgr.cgi	program.  Each	line  specifies  a
	      server:port followed by an optional description

	      The  server  name  may  contain  shell wildcard characters such as *, [] etc.  A quick selection dropdown menu is automatically con-
	      structed from the simple server names.

	      Specifying :port is optional. If not specified then the default proxy port is assumed. :* or :any matches any  port  on  the  target
	      server.

SECURITY

       cachemgr.cgi calls the requested server on the requested port using HTTP and returns a formatted version of the response. To avoid abuse it
       is recommended to configure your web server to restrict access to the cachemgr.cgi program.

       Configuration examples for many common web servers can be found in the Squid FAQ.
