two problems though:
1) most wireless routers (you need one of these), accept ethernet input or usb input (sometimes). neither of these are used to be knowledge with dial-up.
2) it'll be very, very slow. painfully slow.
idea: if you find yourself using the internet so much that you want to use it all round the house, get broadband.

You can get a dial on demand Dial-Up modem that can run wirelessly, The dialup modem is also a router with points for 4 wired ethernet connecitons. 3Com do 2 different types ( 1 of which I have used when I was working in an area that could not get Broadband or ISDN for that matter ) And when set up correctly, It works really well, Its not as slow as you might think
