Answer 2

U don't need a RJ-45 socket for dialup! U need a RJ-11, a 56K modem. U can get a PCMCIA (PC card) modem on ebay.

Answer 3

for a dial up connection you dont need a rj 45 socket, you need rj 11. rj 45 is for ethernet (i.e. for dsl connections, or connecting two computers). you may need to get a usb adapter for an rj11. or go wireless (laptops are probably better wireless so you can move them around the house).

Answer 4

I can give you a link that deals with the internet connection Many of the problems can be solved by making software changes or small hardware corrections. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yl62gz Try here if you can get what you wanted

Answer 5

Dial up is RJ-10, almost all laptops have that port, it looks like (and really is) just a normal phone jack.

Answer 6

If you must use an RJ-45 connection then get an external network adapter like this one (for example):

Answer 7

You can get a pcmcia modem card. Also all laptops have a PCMCIA card, that the large rectangle card with a lever or button next to it, that pops the card out.

Answer 8

In this instance, they still make USB and now even bluetooth phone modems.
