Wireless solution for dial-up connection

Hi all,

Please can you provide solutions / suggestions for the following
question...

I currently have an old PC, with an on-board modem and a standard
dial-up connection (live in the sticks, so no broadband available). I
want a new PC, and have decided to buy a laptop instead of a desktop.

Since most laptops these days come complete with a wireless card, I
want to know what my options are for using a wireless device to browse
the internet wirelessly from my shiny, new laptop, anywhere in the
house. I am aware that the connection will be slow, but I'm guessing no
slower than if I was using wires, and since broadband isn't an option,
speed is not an issue.

Any suggested products that would provide a solution to the above would
be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
