I would have thought it'd be fine for dialup.

Depends what you're planning on connecting it to - if you're on cable it would be fine. If you're on ADSL (and don't have a modem with an ethernet connection), you'd need a modem to go with it.
I'd think twice before buying that particular lump of Belkin crud anyway, but that's another story.
