I have get a dial up phone modem in my hp laptop. Is it of any use as dial ups are quite expensive and provide a limited and a very slow connectivity.

Yes today is the day of adsl and not of any dial up connection. So its no use giving a dial up modem.

It is a good backup when other methods are not available. But other than that it is pointless. So I would pass on this one as well.
