Wireless Router w/built-in dial-up modem?

[Patrick G]

Does such a thing exist? My wife's parents live in a rural area where the only broadband available is satellite, which is still ridiculously pricey. So, a dial-up connection is the only option. They want to get rid of their desktop and replace it with a wireless laptop. What's the best way to do this?

I've never heard of a wireless router that dials in over 56k, but I have heard of a 56k-based router. This one (http://shopping.netledger.com/s.nl/c.ACCT122499/sc.2/category.5/it.A/id.72/.f) seems that if you combined it with a WAP, it would do what you want, although they aren’t very clear so I’d do some research before I bought it.

I used to have an SMC router that was designed to work with broadband or an external 56K modem. Looks like they make a wireless router too 802.11b
