DECserver 90M as a Router!

Hi Gurus,

   I had a litle doubt about the DECserver...

   We are planning to build a subnet via a MODEM line (maybe its a WAN?),
and for tests purpose we don't want to buy a router.

   The DECserver has commands to configure DNS and GATEWAYs on it (I saw
it on the docs), but can I plug a subnet (two or three PCs) on one of
this local ports and route IP packets to the subnet via it???

   Someone like this:

 MyNet -------+---------- <-- IP a.b.C.xxx
              |
           DECserver
              +-------MODEM ----- MODEM --- PC1 <-- IP a.b.D.xxx
                                            +---- PC2 ---- PCn

    Is it possible, or I need a router for this ??? I know if I need more
bandwith and stability I need a router, but for a cheap (and dirty) test
solution it is possible ? Someone have made it before ?


                                  thanks in advance,

                                             Antonio.
