    Hi,

    I hope that someone who owns a Dell XPS 1330 might be able to answer these two questions:

    1) Does this notebook come with a socket for connecting a normal phone line for dial up internet connection? I can't seem to find this specified anywhere.

    2) And does it have a normal wireless connection? I would assume it does but just want to make sure!

    At home I would be connecting to the internet via wireless broadband (with a wireless broadband modem and router) but sometimes travel and need to resort to good old fashioned dial up from the hotel room on those ocassions.

    Your answers would be most appreciated! Thanks! :)

    Do you mean normal as in wireless g?
    If so, then yes. You could also get the upgrade and get wireless n

    I don't know about the phone line though.

    While ordering you need to select:
    1. The type of Wireless Card (Dell or Intel, G or N).
    2. The external USB Modem. (Dell, 56K)
