wireless router with built-in analogue modem

i'm looking to hook up two laptops to a dial-up internet connection
using wifi? does anyone know of any routers that will let me do this.
i'd prefer a single box solution but realise that a wireless router
(with serial port) and external modem maybe my only choice.

any advice would be appreciated

Cheers ws

Apple Airport Extreme is an all in one solution.

I bought a buffalo wlarr-l1-m-1 wireless router a year or so ago for
40 uk pounds (60dollars?) second hand ebay. It has a built in 56k
modem. But while it works to be honest I rarely used the modem part
and ended up using internet connection sharing from one of the pc's
which resulted in a faster more reliable connection. I also found it
slightly odd not being able to tell when it was dialing up or
connected properly. I also had the impression that it was not an idea
that took off as not many of that type seemed to be around and they
were v expensive new. I can't see any on ebay at the moment. I suspect
they never made and 802.11g ones just b.

To be honest I'd go with a router with a backup serial port and
something generically reliable like a 56kb us robotics modem which can
be bought very cheaply these days second hand. I think you will end up
with a better result.

The only one I know of is http://www.wiflyer.com/ I've got one and it
seems to do something, but I haven't actually set it up, configured
it, or used it yet. Kinda pricey, but nice and small. Wish it came
with a carrying case for iself and it's power supply, but you can't
have everything...

Netgear's FWG114P, can support an external modem...and has numerous other
features, that may make you overlook the external modem issue.
