Is this possible?

My old computer only has two phone line jacks. The only way to connect to the internet with my external wireless is through an ethernet cable.

Ok here's my question: Is there a way to "ethernet2phoneline"? =/ That'd be great. Thanks! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Nope. You need an Ethernet NIC, which can be had for around $10.

I know jack, but I do know you can get a USB to LAN converter.
No idea how good...

Your best bet is to get the $10 NIC and use that. It'll outperform any USB device.
