Laptop internet connections?

Is there laptops that can use the regular cable modems, not wireless but ones that use the regular cable?

I would assume any laptop with a NIC would be able to use a cable modem.... unless I understood your question wrong in which case I'm sorry....

Well, my laptop a old dell has a 56K Cellular Modem Pc card inside I think its xjack type with 2 prongs sticking out. I need one that I can put the ethernet cord inside, Im running a router to my desktop pcs but that cord does not fit in the card. Can someone link me to a card that I can use, maybe on ebay, im pretty confused.
