Dial Up Router

Hey,
I have numerous computers in a business atmosphere, all of which are replica models of each other. Unfortuantly, broadband is not available in our area and we are restricted to dial up connection. However, the facility already has all of the central wiring into hubs and I know that if I were to add a router, I could just use it for the network. However, I can not find such a thing as a dial-up router. Is there such a creature?

Hi Adam,
I think the Networking forum would yield more specific answers, and Google also came up with plenty of links.
But here's my suggestion: If you want to improve your internet-connection-speeds, how about a satellite-connection? Could be costly, though!
Or maybe make a Wi-Fi 'hotspot' using radio-transmitters. Those are just appearing and seem the way of the future. It's actually very low-tech. I've seen transmitters being built out of a cardboard box. Just a radio-link to an area that has fast internet-access, similar to a giant Bluetooth network. I think you should definitely check that out.
