How do you play multiplayer if my friend is sitting in his house a mile away, without B.net?

Modem is the only option; though it uses your Dial-up connection.
You could try, PvPGN, if it works, I think its a 3rd Party server.
http://www.pvpgn.net/
It works for me, you have to put in the IP address located on; Live Servers on the website.
Though, read the Legal Notice.

You'll need to get a program that allows you to connect there.

I'm using, BattleNet Gateway Editor, you make a server name, its IP address and location time. When you play Starcraft and look in Multiplayer, you should see another server name below. Click OK or double-click it, you have to make a new account in order to work, you cant use your existing one from B.net. Then you'll be in a server that looks like B.net, but its PvPGN.
When you make an account, you cant use any characters other than 0-9 and A-Z/a-z.

Does modem cost money when you dial?

It goes through your phone bill, if your friend lives in a 1-800 place(Or lives in a few states away), they will charge you. IF your friend lives a few miles away, they wont. But I guess it depends if your phone company would charge you.
Warning: if you were actually playing with your friend on Modem, anyone that picks up the phone will terminate your game. You'll have to restart and play again, which would be a annoying.
Best time would be if your all alone, or no one is using the phone/no one calls in.

Perhaps Kali is a fitting solution to your problem? Google for some instructions for getting set up and you might find you like it.
NOTE: The Christian Gamers Alliance does not condone the use of PvPGN servers as they circumvent the CD-key checking scheme that ensures only owners of legitimate copies of Starcraft may play online.

Wireless would help, though if you have $150 bucks.
Mines worth it for my PS2, using wireless instead of a 65 foot cable wire with 1 splitter.
Kali is a good suggestion, I wouldnt trust PvPGN, though I prefer original server places like B.net for Blizzard games, Steam for Valve games, Zone.msn for Microsoft games, etc.
