I'm moving to an area where I can only get dialup, but the cell coverage is very good. I don't have a laptop only a desktop with unbuntu 7.10, can I connect my desktop computer to a wireless network? If so how?

First, look and see what luck other Ubuntu users have had, what carriers, and what hardware.

May have what you need. And you may need to update to Ubuntu 8.08

You'd be better off with a good dial up connection.
Our sales folks tried cellular and our experience is that in most places it is really slow, painfully slow, slower than dial up and twice as expensive, at least.
