I just wish ADSL All-in-one (router/modem/VPN/VoIP) manufacturers would add a 
dial-up modem into the mix as well. It's not a HUGE cost, and I for one would 
pay for a reliable device that had this functionality all in the one box.

Yes, I know you can buy boxes that have ISDN as a backup, or a serial port 
that can be used for dial-up. Is it so much more to ask for a modem as well?

(end OT rant)

Of note: I would expect dial-up to be around, at least in many parts of the 
world, for a LONG time, like at least 5 years, possibly longer in the less 
economically profitable countries.
