Telephone with data port

I am after a phone (not cordless) with a built in data port so that you can connect a computer and use dial-up internet.....

thanks. J

Sorry i'm lost - can you explain what you mean. Do you want to be able to plug the computer in to the phone to access the Internet on the computer? If so is this a mobile phone you mean (you said not cordless) or just a wired one in to the phone socket in the house. Also what kind of data port are you refering to? Mobile can connect via cable, infra red or bluetooth.

Sorry, i didnt make myself clear at all!!!

I have a small hotel and want to be able to offer my guests some facility for connecting to the internet. Dont have the demand for wireless etc which people keep trying to sell me for £££!!!

Instead of them having to unplug the phone in their room and plug their computer into the main telephone line, i want them to be able to plug straight into the phone.

I have seen in some hotels telephones with ports on the side to plug into and get dial up.

I am obviously after a bargain, but really dont know where to start,

thanks all.

I know this a while after the original query, but I came looking for some help myself and spotted this.

Wouldn't a double socket solve this? You can get even get them with an RJ11 socket on as well as a phone socket (if I'm making any sense!) for those whose data cable doesn't end with a phone plug, IYSWIM.
