How to install/use an ethernet cable?

My question might be moot, as I live in a very rural area AND my laptop has an external modem (the cable opening in the modem is for a phone line.) There is a ethernet portal on my laptop. Is it even possible to use an ethernet cable, so at least when I'm using dial-up I can leave my phone line open for incoming calls?? Can I purchase ethernet cable myself? Any and all information would be really appreciated
Answer:

No ethernet are used for dsl, cable or home networks, if ur useing dial up u have to use the modem and can't use the phone unless u get a second Line, theres also satellite internet that's much faster then dial up and will allow u do use your phone. The modem/router from the satellite company will have a port for ethernet cord.

Get DSL high speed internet through your phone company. They will provide you with a router and these little things that hook to your phone line so you can be on line and still get your phone calls. You do not need to buy the ethernet cable because the DSL can just be hooked up with the phone jack.
