Wi Fi Network with 56 K modem

I would like to set up a wireless network for two desktop computers and one laptop. I now use a 56k dialup. I now use a wire to connect the two desk models for two online at the same time. I would like to be able to use any or all of the computers online at the same time and do it wirelessly. I know this is slow, but my kids generally just chat and that takes little band width. How would I set this up? What equiment do I need to buy?

Unless you want to go totaly wireless on all computers just get some wireless cards with adhoc. If you have a hub or switch connecting your 2 pc's already you just need a wireless access point and a wireless pcmcia card for your laptop.
I had a wireless router with switch but ran into problems with ip conflicts and xp's ics when I went back to dialup.
