    A router is a better solution.

    The USB modem needs two USB sockets as one only provides 500mA and the Modem needs more than 500mA.

    I have mine set up using 2 pc's a desktop and a laptop.
    The modem is connected to the desktop and the desktop connected to the router. The laptop is wireless. I'm using ccproxy as the proxy server and it all works well.
