How to connect Time Capsule to dial-up internet

I doubt it, however if you can it will take ages to back up. I remember dial-up
I want to connect my Time Capsule to the internet through dialup. Not connect to my Time Capsule over dialup!
It must be possible.
Umm, no...
Sorry man, there is just no way of hooking up a wireless router of any brand to dial up internet.
I mean with an external dialup modem.
Does Apple offer a solution?
For example, I know it's a long shot, bu would this happen to work with a time capsule: http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MA034Z/A ?
If not, are there any dialup modems that I connect to the ethernet port on my time capsule?
Thanks, although something like that will be my last resort. I'd like to use the time capsule if possible because I've had it for almost a year and its a great quality wireless router/hard drive.

I don't think the Apple USB modem works with Time Capsule, but I would love to be proven wrong.
One way to accomplish this would be to have a computer with a dial-up modem to be the main connection point, and then share that connection over ethernet to the Time Capsule.
Another method that I have used is to use one of the very old AirPort Extreme base stations with the built-in modem (the UFO shaped kind). They can be found on eBay for pretty cheap. I used it for G wireless and connected a previous model Time Capsule to it via ethernet and used the TC for N wireless.

I may just do this unless there exists an external dialup modem with an ethernet connection.
Thanks.
I have 50mb/s internet here. I'm moving somewhere where the only choice is dialup.
u sure about that? I thought the same for my parents that live in the middle of nowhere. They have a service called DTNSpeed that isn't the fastest but it gets the job done and much better than dial-up!
Going from 50mb to dial-up is just plain awful.
I wouldn't move there, no joke. Unless I was 10 and my parents made me.
If your under 18 apply for amnesty. Dial up would be considered cruel and unusual punishment to any modern judge.

dial up modems have to be connected to a computer so they can be dialed, they arent like broadband which is connected all the time
are you moving to a third world country?

Buy an older Airport Extreme with the built-in modem. I will be selling mine next week, cause I got a new dual-band AE today in the mail. Let me know if you want to see about it. If I eBay it and you are interested, I can link you to it.
