Just had my cable modem installed (yay! 1MB downloads in under
30 secs!). This is hunky dory for my desktop machine - clean install
of Windows, no dialup connection in sight.

But how do I persuade my laptop (Sony Vaio with built in modem & ethernet)
to use it in preference to the modem? And how do I swap between them?

If you can't afford the Norton solution, or don't have the means to put a
hardware solution in place (think Linux here), try
