i was wondering which to buy? i use a dial up internet connection (i know, i dont like it either.... ) but i was wondering the difference and why i would need a modem.

[-Q-]

Well, the modem would allow you to connect to your ISP without having to tether your iBook to a wall jack. The Airport could handle the connection and you would be free to surf (albeit slowly) from anywhere in your house.

Otherwise, you have a wireless network in your home, but if you don't have a modem in your airport, you'd still have to get the modem cord out to connect to the 'net. Not sure why'd you want the Airport w/out the modem?

I think your better off getting the modem
