Devices which interwork with dial up networking, were always
a niche technology. That means, in any given year, you might
only see one or two products for sale. This would be a box, with
dial up networking on one side, and a nicer LAN technology on the
other side.

The chances of finding a pre-manufactured item like this
are slim to none. There is too small a market now, for
any new item with DUN on one side.

But, you can build a *custom* solution, using a regular computer,
Wifi hardware, dialup modem. All it takes is an OS that can handle
routing, to build a solution (Linux is free and can do the job, Windows
costs money and can do the job). Then, it's a matter of how much
electricity your invention uses, while performing this function.
Refinements would include, reducing mechanical components, so
there are fewer things to wear out. But for a first
approximation, you could use a regular computer you already own, as
a prototype, to get the concept working.

If you could find a Linux based router, that takes mini-PCI
or mini-PCI Express cards, and could place a dialup modem in
the slot, I suppose that would come close to a power
efficient platform. And then, you'd need good control and
access to the Linux OS in the router, to get the dialup
networking operating properly.

Good luck,
Paul
