Is it possible: ext modem->wireless->notebook only?

[spokes]

I have to go away for three weeks from my home to a place where there is only a dial-up hook-up
(at home I have a cable/wireless set-up with D-Link 713 router). Does anyone have an idea how to dial-up from an external modem that is hooked to the wireless base and will transmit to the notebook, without a haad-wired desktop that could initiate the dial-up?

Can I connect by dialing-up while the notebook is hard-wired to the wireless router and than just pull the RJ-45 and hope that the wireless will take over and the dial-up connection will remain active?

BTW, I can't take with me the desktop computer but really need the wireless mobility. I can take with me the 56k USRobotics external modem, the wireless router and the notebook with PCMCIA wireless card. Does this strike you as being possibloe at all? If so, let me know! Thanks.

Wireless setting is basically just a replacement for CAT5 cable.

I am not familiar with the D-Link, but if you have a Wireless Cable/DSL Modem that supports external Modem, you can dial from the laptop through the wireless connection.

I appreciate your suggestion JackMDS! (and many other posts of yours that I have read on this forum in the past). What you say makes perfect sense -- I should just dig out my old external modem, load the modem drivers onto the notebook, hook the modem to the Com port at the back of the wireless router and away I go... I don't know why I thought it would be more complicated than that... Thanks again!
