Yes, they are a full featured laptop just like all the rest of the Mac laptop lineup.

You can connect either with the ethernet port or the built in wireless.

Although, you cannot connect via dial up any more on any Mac within the last few years as they no longer have a Dial up modem built in. You would have to buy an external USB dial up modem with the software to run it.

A MacBook Air normally connects to the internet via a wireless connection. It can connect to any standard wireless router that complies with IEEE 802.11a/b/g or n. The 802.11 n version is the latest and will give the fastest connection. This router will be connected to the phone/cable socket which connects you to whoever you have an Internet account with. You configure your connection in the Network section of System Preferences. Apple uses the name AirPort for the 802.11 connection. The MacBook Air will usually automatically find available wireless networks and you only need to type in the password (often found on the side of the router).

If a wired connection is required a USB to Ethernet adapter will need to be purchased. This will connect an Ethernet cable from the MacBook Air's USB socket to the router.
