PSP Dial-up?

Does anyone know if the PSP WLAN system works with a dial-up connection?

i think in theory it will but will be for all intents and purposes be absolutely impossibly slow to be useful

I don't think so, how would you connect it?. You could dial up on your computer, connect your PSP to the computer and see if it registers a net connection... I doubt it though.

Go to McDonalds, you'll get free WiFi, problem solved.

....
Your PSP communicates wirelessly with WiFi. Your PSP can access the internet through WiFi hotspots. McDonalds restaurants have free broadband internet through WiFi. You have a PSP. You can go to McDonalds to access the internet on your PSP.

Get a Smarties Mc Flurry aswell, that'll make your PSP run better.

Really? How?

I guess it could work but would be painfully slow.
Maybe web browzing would be ok but not games.

Something like this:

Just go get a McChicken burger instead.

Downside is that you'll have to buy a burger, or lean against the window for a bit.

You PSP uses Wifi (Wireless) to connect to a network.
You have no other way to connect it as far as I'm aware. I don't own a PSP btw. The router will "route" ip traffic between the devices connected to it, both wired and wireless. Think of that wireless connection as a physical link/cable.

I have my PSP connecting to the net over dialup using a wireless router and a shared connection on my PC which I'm also using as the gateway in my PSPs connection settings.
