There may soon come a day when everyone will have
a broadband connection to the Internet. For now the fact is that
the majority of Internet users still use a dial-up connection. While
this is common knowledge, no company has made a product that allows
dial-up users to share their connection as easy as a router can
for broadband. That is until now. I would like to introduce the
WiFlyer dial-up/broadband portable access point from Always On Wireless.
Just what can the WiFlyer do? Read on and find out.
