[Ham-Computers] wireless connectivity

I was wondering if a device exists that would allow me to connect my laptop
to my home dialup connection wirelessly.  I already have a Network Interface
Card which works with my college's high-speed wireless network, but it would
also be nice to come home and use the same laptop on an "RF modulated dialup
connection", allowing me to work from any room without having to first set
up a broadband service.  I would expect it to be just an AC powered box with
an antenna sticking out of it, and a modular plug for the dialup connection,
then maybe a second smaller box that plugs into the laptop's dialup jack or
NIC jack.  My laptop would be the only computer, so I'm not looking to set
up the usual wireless home network, just a single non-broadband wireless
connection.  Comments?
