Hi Bill,
     Depending on if you want to use straight wireless or wireless LAN, there usb devices you can buy to plug in to your usb ports to enable the computer to connect to the internet. Personally, I would take the computer to the local computer store and explain what I wanted to do. 
     I put my wired desktop on a wireless LAN with a USB wireless card. IN the USA one may end up spending about $50 to $70 or so for a card like that.

God bless,
Mark

Subject: using a lap top on the internet


Hello to all, I have a lap top with a built in modem for dial up =
connections.  I am going to leader Dogs Sunday May 31 and am interested =
in using my computer on the internet.  to send e mails.  it does have =
one or two usb connections on the back of it.  I was wondering if there =
was a way to put a computer that old on the internet so you could at =
least do e-mail?
thanks in advance.
