Yes it is.

The kind of modem realy depends on what kind of line you have. AFAIK
there are no modems that can connect with 56k from one analog-line to
another. There are/were "USR Courier vEverything" and "ZyXEL Elite
2864I" ISDN TAs that were able to allow another modem to connect with
56kbps. Both are expensive, if you get them at all.

For ppp there is a nicht howto in the mgetty sources. If you want to use
your dialin for more than just ppp, e.g. to dial-in for maintainance,
you want to use mgetty on the serial-line.

NATing is simple, just like you already do: nat everything leaving your
system through your dialup interface.
