Buy an ethernet card.
Ethernet is not the same thing as a buzz. You would need a modem in your laptop to hook up the buzz line, not an ethernet card. If you have an outdoor modem, it would possibly connect to your laptop through the ethernet port. The ethernet port is a data connection, not for connecting to POTS.
There is no adapter to convert rj-11 port to rj-45. You have two options left to use internet:
1. Buy a modem(outdoor) so that you can connect rj-11 port to it and will be able to run internet through it.
2. Apply for a broadband connection, then ISP will provide you internet connectivity on RJ-45 ports.
