Wireless without broadband...

[AdamSnow]

I imagine its possible, but how ? All the routers and stuff I see are for broadband connections... How would I go about setting my house up for wireless when I have a dialup internet connection... I want to hook the house up on wireless but cant seem to find any wireless hubs or anything... can I just put cards in each PC and do it that way? or will that not work ? Argh... let me know if anyone has any experiance with this...

Thanks!

The only sensible way to go about it is to find a Wireless Cable/DSL Router with serial port.

You buy an external Dialup modem and connect it to the Router's serial port, set up, and you are in business.

It might be hard to find a Router with serial port, since they do not offer it in the New Routers.

Jack's idea is anexcellent one, if you can find a router with a serial port. Otherwise, you can just get a wireless access point use internet connection sharing, leaving the connected computer on all the time.
And hey, since it's running a lot with nothing better to do, let it fold proteins!

Well I was doing just that but had one PC with an internal modem and set it up for ICS. The drawback is I would have to log into that PC with remote desktop and start the modem manually, then I could get on anywhere. Another option is if you have an old PC that you can use you can build a Smothwall system You can connect a modem to it and can launch a web browser to get to its admin page and click connect. I have a friend that does this and it has made things easier for him with trying to share dial up.
