You can do it with a program called Opti-Net by Online Computer Systems.
They're in Germantown, MD (800-922-9204).  It works pretty well, although
I recommend using it in conjuction with something like QEMM-386 or
386-to-the-max since device drivers are needed on client machines which
eats into available RAM.
