Here is how I did it. I bought a regular router that supports
rs232.(DB9 connection serial port)
I used an Asante FR3004LC, they dont sell these anymore but you can
usually find one
on ebay or SMC has one
http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=v...e=EN_USA&cid=1
&scid=&pid=858
or US Robotics made one but not sure of the model I then bought a
cheap external 56K modem to attach to the router and
also plugged in a Linksys wrt54g (in AP mode) to the router.
Then you are surfin!
