Why Only DSL, Not Dial Up?

get DSL you'll love it

Why are you posting this to a newsgroup about the repair of electronic equipment?

That's a far more puzzling question than whatever it is you are asking.

Read Mark Zenier's guide to the sci.electronics.* hierarchy before you continue to post off-topic here: ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/u/m/mzenier/seguide9706.txt

Note there are oddles of computer related and consumer related and likely even internet related questions where you can ask this sort of question.

Need more bandwidth for video than dialup can handle if in fact that's what you'll be viewing. Also if the pics are color they will be larger and have more detail. Just giving you and educated guess here.

u can do it with dialup, but the frame rate will be low, say 2 to 4 frames per second. the amount of data to transfer must be compressed greatly to move across a dialup connection so the video is crappy

anyway, even slow band DSL at 112k is as cheap as crummy 28.8 dialup now a days!

them thars' some fierce competition goimg on with those internet providers my friend! shop around!!

Hello,

Where i live (in Amish territory) there is nothing; not even cell phone. I had to put in my own electricity etc. even . . . and thank G^d for Dish, which works sometimes, but very little local.

you need DSL for speed., you need to be connected at all times. and the static IP is your address that never changes and thus you can be found from a look up server. Using Dial, your IP (address) is not always the same, most of the time it's different.

You can't be guaranteed a static IP (unless you pay extra for it.) Most DSL providers don't go about changing IP addresses until you disconnect (by turning off the DSL modem), but it's possible your IP address will change.

That's why services such as dyndns exist.

then u are stuck! however u may be able to find a Ham radio fellow who could get u started with a packet link across the various ham radio bands. there are lots of options and concessions to be made.

cell links can be prohibitively expensive for broadband use, such as video serving.

however, u may be the first to offer your neighbors the "opportunity" to enrich thier worldly influence to startup a local ISP server. figure $10,000 for equipment and a satelite link and u may start selling net service to the entire region. ;-))

Putting commercial traffic through ham radio is a federal offence. Don't try it. The ham will lose his license

Links via amateur radio may NOT be used for any kind of business transactions.

They require a LICENSED operator in control at all times.

There may NOT be any charges for transmitting messages via amateur radio.

dont tell me NO hams are using any band for moving email and like across them!

comercially, yes it is prohibited, but linking private communications not originating form direct net service?

its not all dots/dashes anymore. subcued modulations have been used to xmit more then just casual blab!

Sure they are, but so what? What you propose is Federally, illegal.

See above.

And your point is, what? It hasn't been all dots and dashes for over 100 years.
