Is there a wireless access point/router that can be configured to use a dia-up modem?

The DSL and Cable modems normally used with network hubs, are basically dedicated computers running both the modem and the network interface.

I have not seen a dial-up modem configured that way.

What you could do, is build up a bare-bones PC ($150 or less) with a modem and a NIC card to be used as your network modem.
The only "special" feature that you want / need is the Wake On Lan function.

Then, install Internet connection sharing on the PC.

Not the most elequent solution, but fully functional.

Orinco builds a modem into their access point, it's fully automatic, when a client needs inet acess it dials it up!
