with blue tooth and w/lan etc.. now he wants me to make him able of connecting to internet without pluging the telephone cable in the notebook's modem, i think he will have to get and access point for such thing, and will connect to it through blue tooth correct me if i am wrong (which has max chances) , he has MSI's blue tooth (which is something like usb stick ) i have to help him out, tell me guyz what he needs and what to do to connect his notebook to internet while he can easily move in his home with his notebook, for which he must be independent of telephone cable.. thanking you in anticipation...

you would need to finder a router with dialup capabilities and conenct a wireless access point to it or if you are really lucky a wireless router that can handle dialup. Some cable/ADSL routers allow you to have a backup dialup connection if the main cable/ADSL line fails this would work you would just never connect through a cable/ADSL line.

ok i get it, then whats the use of bluetooth, i thought blue tooth will do it for me..

Bluetooth is a wireless technology (not sure of exact spd but kinda slow) that allows you to interface with bluetooth compatible items; cell phones, mice, keyboard, etc.

I read about a bluetooth 56k modem in a magazine. Actually called a useless use of bluetooth and "like broadband without all the annoying speed."
