Here are the steps to get everything working the way you want:

1. Connect to the router's built-in web server and disable its
built-in DHCP server. Consult the router's documentation for
details.

2. Connect all of the computers to the router's LAN (local area
network) ports. Don't connect anything to the router's WAN (Internet)
port.

3. Enable Internet Connection Sharing on the modem (dial-up)
connection on A:

3a. Open the Network Connections folder.
3b. Right click the modem connection.
3c. Click Properties.
3d. Click Advanced.
3e. Put a check mark in the Internet Connection Sharing box.

4. Reboot B and C.

A hub would work the same as the router, except there wouldn't be a
built-in DHCP server to disable.

A must be running at all times that B or C wants to access the
Internet.

As Steve said, a hub could be used in place of a router. A hub
is cheaper than a router, and is slower for sharing large files,
but it is quite fast enough for internet use.
