red750 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 New computers (and laptops) don't have dial-up ports and modems. Unfortunately I live in an area where broadband is difficult to receive, even though I live in suburban Melbourne. We have a pocket Wi-Fi, but the location of my computer desk is a real blackspot. I have been using dial-up, but my old computer packed it in, and I've had difficulty getting onto the internet. However, we found on e-Bay a USB dial-up modem for under $20, and it works fine, even though it is listed as a fax modem.
