   By 'some company' did you mean Apple? The Apple AirPort has always had this capability.

   The Lucent (later Orinoco, later Agere) RG-1000 was available almost 5 years ago, and it had dial-on-demand modem capability.

   Apple's been doing this since Day One

   Apple's Airport products have always had a modem jack specifically to dial-up to a regular ISP and provide network connectivity to wireless clients.

   Pointless? Yeah, just like a cordless phone is pointless. There's definitely value in browsing without wires, regardless of speed. Witness the people who flock to GPRS and 1xRTT connections, and the people before who were die-hard CDPD fans.

   D-Link can do this too

   I was at a product seminar a few weeks ago where a D-Link rep. touted their 802.11g Access Point's ability to do this. It doesn't have a built in modem, but a serial port that can be attached to a modem.

   you said "the point on this one seems to be that it's just dialup. "
   from your link:
   >>device is smaller then a paperback book for easy travel and also has an Ethernet port
   from the www.alwaysonwireless.com website:
   >>WiFlyer also doubles as a portable broadband wireless access point when an Ethernet connection is available
   seems to me that this is a usefull product
