In theory these should work. I have the Belkin AP and it works very well for me and the Socket card is considered the best on the market. Hopefully someone with both of these can confirm that there isn't any issue but I would not expect there to be any problem with them.

Setting up a network with dial-up can be a little tricky. The WiFi How-to has a section WiFi with Dial-up WinXP worked out by an AximSite user, snathanb.

Just so you know, you could use a wireless network adapter in the PC that is dialing your ISP instead of the AP. I imagine the AP will give you better range and the price isn't that much different. The main issue if you go with the AP is that you need to make sure you have a network interface card (NIC) in the PC. This is a port that looks like a larger version of the port in your modem where you plug in the phone line. You'll need the NIC to attach the AP to the computer using a RJ-45 (Ethernet) cable.
