As long as you have a Ethernet hub on your PC you can get online! I found the following on a PS3 message board:
Okay for all of you dial up users out there (including me) this is a must read. It is possible to connect your Playstation 3 to the internet via a Dial Up connection. Here's how it works.
1. Before you do any of this, your computer must have a Ethernet Port available.
2. Connect your computer to the internet via your dial up connection.
3. Right Click on the two flashing computers down at the bottom right of your screen. (These are shown when you are connected)
4. Select 'Open Network Connections' from the popup box.
5. Right click your dial up provider under the Dial Up Heading, and select properties.
6. Click on the Advanced Tab, and then check the box that says 'Allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection'.
7. Then in the drop down box underneath that check box you just selected, click on it and select 'Local Area Connection'. Now press OK.
8. Now, plug the ethernet cable that came with your PS3 into your computers ethernet hub.
9. On the PS3's main menu, scroll over to Settings and then down to Network Settings
10. Make sure that the Internet Connection setting is enabled.
11. Select the Internet Connection Settings and press X. Tell the system Yes, and then select 'Wired Connection'. Scroll over and select 'Easy' and the PS3 will connect to internet through your computer. Save the settings, then test the Connection and everything should work.
12. You will now be back at the Main Menu, now select 'Internet Connection Test' and let it check one more time.
13. Once that is done, scroll over to the friend heading and start setting up your account.
Congratulations, you just enabled Internet Connectivity on your PS3 via Dial Up. All you need to do to connect is make sure your PC is connected and make sure the Ethernet cable is plugged in
I had to do some variation to the method. I didn't have the scroll down box mentioned, and had to run the network setup wizard and restart my PC. After that it works just fine. Just takes a long time to d/l the patch!

I have DSL but my phone jack is clear across the other side of the house and my TV way too heavy to move. My computer is WiFi. I wonder if I can still connect it.

Which PS3 do you have? I think the 60 and 80 are wifi compatible. But yeah, if you plug your PS3 into your router it should work in a simular manner.

I have the 20GB original cheap no WiFi version PS3. My problem is my TV is really heavy and my router is in the next room. I would need to string about 50 feet of ethernet cable through my house to be connected. I havent seen ethernet cables that long for sale. Plus it would look alwful.
I did order a Wifi Link for the PS3 off of Ebay, but have to wait for it to come in the mail.
