Two levels of ICS possible?

I've got a WinXP Pro box with a USB modem and a peer-to-peer wireless
link to a Win98 SE box acting as an ICS client.

Could I connect another device via an Ethernet NIC (using a crossover
cable) to the Win98 box and setup ICS on the Win98 box to route through
to the Internet?

Thanks for any input.

Yes, provided that you change the local area network IP address of the
Win98 SE box so that the two boxes are in different subnets. Use
192.168.y.x, where "y" is in the range 1-254. This Microsoft
Knowledge Base article shows how to do it:
