You'll need to shop around. USB and PCMCIA modems are available almost everywhere.
do new laptops still come with internal dialup modems ?

If you are in an area without cable or dsl, you can get High-speed via satellite. It's a little bit expensive, but after you factor your dial up cost and phone line cost it's not that much more. Here is a company who knows the product very well. www.satellitepro.NET. order online or call their 800#. Dial up is not working on more and more new computers. The computer wants to process information way faster than dial up will allow. Good luck.

I'm buying a new laptop and they
no longer have dial-up modems. I want to be able to use it some of the
time in an area where there is only dial-up available. Is there a
reasonable solution to this situation?
