This connection is for a docking station. The docking station has additional devices such as DVD burners, USB, LAN ports and video ports.
Check out EBay for these docking stations.

It looks like they are part of the motherboard.
If they are physically damaged a competent repair shop can replace them probably a couple hours of labor ($120-$200 depending on the place. If they dont work at all then I would just buy a USB PCMCIA card which plugs into the side instead ($20-40).

You need to check if its a Modem enabled, if its a dialup u need to call the ISP and reset the settings and if its a Modem and DSL u need to use the cable fromthe modem not the telephone cable directly.

First you will need a router which will enable you to create a wireless network for your internet connection. I recommend, if you're purchasing online, to use Tigerdirect. Then you would need a USB wireless adapter for your laptop which will enable it to communicate with the wireless router and establish an internet connection.
Below are some links for the most affordable and best rated products you need.
