Several computer questions inside, and your help is greatly appreciated.?

First, I live in a rural area and my only options for internet access is dialup or satellite. The cost of the satellite is prohibitive, not to mention the fact that I have heard it is not reliable. That leaves us with dialup. We have Verizon telephone service, and the fastest I am ever able to connect is 33.26, but usually it is 28. This is with a 56 k modem. Is there something I can do to increase my speed? I can not access YouTube because of the slow connection, and downloading even songs takes a ridiculous amount of time-forget anything more than a song.

My daughter is getting a laptop for Christmas. It is a gift from her grandfather, who gets all of the grandchildren a computer at a certain age range. I am picking it out, and have chosen one with WiFi. I know there are some places that offer free WiFi and some that charge, but is that all she will need to connect? There is also an option for a Wireless card with Bluetooth-I know what Bluetooth is, exactly how does that work on the wireless card?

Her father and I are going to get her a docking station for the laptop for her January birthday, and I am wondering how to network my all in one print/scan/copy/fax to her laptop, so that both computers can share the same equipment?

I think that is all for now…again, thank you very much for your time.
