Simple ? and oh yeah I am computer illiterate. lol
« on: September 29, 2007, 10:11:53 PM »
Can a person connect to their dial up connection if they have fast internet service on their computer as their main Internet service?   If so, how? I want to use a different isp when I am using my fast internet sometimes. I have a dial service provider on my computer. Do I have to hook my phone line back up if I want to use my dial up?  I am slow so forgive me.  lol  Thanks in advance to whoever answers.    Kat

Unless your Internet Service Provider offers dial-up as well as the broadband connection you'd first need to have a dial-up service for this to work.

However, yes. You could do this, although unless you're leaving your computer with broadband I'm not exactly sure why you'd want to do this.

well when I was using my dial up before I went to fast service I have 2 blasting submitter software that worked fine with the dial up, but with the fast service the submitters are submitting so fast until its not submitting my ads at all. Until I find out why I cant use the submitters with my fast service I will keep using the dial up.  its a free dial up service so no out of pocket $$$. I was using the dial up just for that purpose. The submitters work fine with the dial up but I hate going through the hassle of keep switching from dial up to my fast service.           

                                           Thanks anyway Kat

I don't understand that a connection could be too fast for transmitting data...
I think we are going to need more details on what you are trying to accomplish and with what software.
