How can I access dial-up internet?

Have a dial-up modem, but the "dial-up" choice is grayed out in Network Setup Assistant.

All devices running 10.11.

Any suggestions welcome.

In a remote location with no other choice for internet at this time...

Thank you!

New Centurylink Modem - wireless network no longer connects to internet Just replaced my parents modem from Centurylink with an Actiontec C1900A modem/router. It had been set up so they were able to use the wireless network created by the multiple Time Machines in the house as the main connection and the Centurylink wireless network as a secondary option. Since installing the C1900A the wireless network from the Time Machines will not connect to the internet. One Time Machine is plugged directly into the C1900A via an ethernet cable. They networks are named differently and it worked last week. All of the secondary things in the house are connected to the old wireless network and it will be a major hassle to switch everything over to the Centurylink network...especially if this new unit lasts all of three months like the last one.Any suggestions on how I get the original wireless network to connect to the internet again? Thanks!

Also, earthlink rep stated they only had modems for PCs, not Macs. Will those you linked to work with my macs?

Oh, thank you. So, once this is plugged in, the "dial-up" option in Network Setup should be available? It seems I read somewhere that the most recent OS it might work with would be 10.7 or so...
