    My parents live in a rural area with no broadband – only dial-up. I bought them a laptop and I’d like them to at least access their email wirelessly anywhere in the house. The only product I’ve found for wireless dial-up is a product called WiFlyer: http://www.wiflyer.com/StoreFront.bok

    $100 seems kinda steep for this type of thing…can anyone advise a cheap easy way for wireless dial-up?

    Thanks for that link, I didn't see it before. It pretty much answered my question.
