[Ham-Computers] wireless connectivity

[Dale Miller]

You could look at using this http://www.freesco.org/ for making the 
dial-up connection.
All you need is a 486 system with just a floppy drive and of course a modem.
I'm not sure about the wireless card that would work with it.
Of course the easy way would be to set that box up with a wireless 
router like a DLink DI-524.

This is the only way I know of to do what you want, off the top of my head.
