Best solution? Put a Wi-Fi card in your computer, then connect to a desktop system in your house running Internet connection sharing. (You'll also need a Wi-Fi card in the desktop system.) Or take the PC that uses the modem and dialup connection and add to it a wireless access point and Internet connection sharing.
You can also use Apple's AirPort Extreme base station (and Airports), though it isn't cheap, and you need Apple' free software to configure AirPort Extreme from a Windows 2000 or Windows XP computer (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120226), or access to a Mac (doesn't need a Mac to run though).

Alternatively, you can also subscribe to wireless internet (satellite), which I know a few people who do, and they seem to like it.
