I don't think the Linksys router will help. It needs a
DB25 port that can support an asynchronous EIA 232 connection to a
dial-up modem. You can do this with a PC using software such as Sygate,
Wingate or Winproxy. Check the web sites and make sure on of these
products supports a wireless internal LAN.
