The cool thing, check your cell phone provider for data plans. It would be considerably faster than traditional dialup and no phone cord required.
Otherwise, find a Cardbus or PCMCIA modem on ebay. $5-20. Your laptop can use two cards, so you'd still have room for Ethernet or whatever later.

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
