You can not get high speed through the regular phone cord jack on your computer. That is a dial up modem which is useless to you for what you want. You do have to get a pcmcia card for the laptop, it's network card basically. The only thing I could say is try looking into a wireless card, there is a lot more equipment then you probably want but for a laptop it's priceless.
