New computers (and laptops) don't have dial-up ports and modems. Unfortunately I live in an area where broadband is difficult to receive, even though I live in suburban Melbourne. We have a pocket Wi-Fi, but the location of my computer desk is a real blackspot. I have been using dial-up, but my old computer packed it in, and I've had difficulty getting onto the internet. However, we found on e-Bay a USB dial-up modem for under $20, and it works fine, even though it is listed as a fax modem.

So, if you have to use dial-up and have had to replace your computer, there is an answer, although the main computer stores can't help you.

I use a dialup system for our weather station system, only as a backup though. I pull 54.2KBPS
