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

Patrick G · 05-02-05, 06:11 PM

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 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
