I have a Dell Latitude laptop. Will someone tell me how do I connect my phone line to my laptop to connect, via dial-up, to the internet. My phone line jack did not fit any of the ports on the laptop. Thanks in advance for your support.

if the phone line jack did not fit any ports on the laptop then you dont have a modem. you will need to buy a laptop style modem PCMCIA card and install it.

Give the complete make and model number
of your Dell Latitude, and I or someone will look around Dell's website.

Maybe yours does not have an internal modem. If that is the case, then you may have to get an external modem.

Doubt it would not have a internal modem.

Are you plugging the right end in? Its the small bit (rj-11). Don't want to insult your intelligence.
What model of latitude is it?
