[Ti] airport base

[Kynan Shook]

One use for the modem that nobody here has mentioned is making your own 
dial-up access.  Some ISPs might already give you dial-up access when 
you buy broadband.  If they don't, you can set up the Airport to let 
you dial up to your Airport when you're away from home.  I remember 
seeing a phone company deal a while ago that would give you a special 
phone card that you could only use to call home with, but you'd get a 
pretty good deal on long distance when doing so; if you can get 
something like that set up (or some other inexpensive long distance), 
it would work well for occasional travel internet access needs.
