I want to access the net without a cable-wireless

May 3, 2005 7:03PM PDT

I have a nice notebook. It's got built in wireless capabilities. I do not have broadband, cable or DSL. Just dial up. How do I set up a wireless connection with just a phone line? It's possible, because my sister has done it. She had it set up for her and she can't give me advice. Can anyone there give me a hand setting this up?

The Apple Airport with the modem can do this.

I have a notebook PC, not an apple. I have built-in wireless capabilities but I'm having a lot of trouble setting up the wireless connection. I just need advice on how to do this.
