Multiple Modem Users

I work at a travel agency and for them to work at home they have to dial into a modem which is connected to a unix server. Only 1 person can dial into this modem at once right now. Is there some hardware/software or anything I can do to allow more than 1 user to dial into this modem without getting a new modem/line?
