Wireless Dell CP and phone line??? How?

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Hi! I just bought a Latitude CP 233 128 on ebay for my Mom.. How do I set
up a wireless connection to her phone line (she will use a local ISP) so she
can use the laptop anywhere in the house??
( I'm obviously a real novice on wireless, so any help is GREATLY
appreciated).

thanks! Please reply to:

AFAIK, the only wireless router that actually includes a built-in modem
is Apple's AirPort Extreme Base Station (the $250 model). USR and D-Link
make -- or at least used to make -- models that could use an external
modem for a dialup connection.

The Apple unit can be used alternatively as a PPP host for connecting to
your home network via telephone line.

Another glitch, the laptop has an INTERNAl 56 K modem- what now??
