 Dial
Up Access:
Dial-up access provides a temporary, non-dedicated connection
to the Internet over a regular phone line. This is accomplished
using a PC that is connected to an analog modem. The speed
at which an analog modem operates is ordinarily expressed
in units of one thousand bits (kilobits) per second. For example,
56K or 56 Kbps indicates that the modem is capable of transferring
data at a rate of 56 thousand bits per second. Dial-up Internet
access utilizes the ordinary phone line and prevents the user
from receiving phone calls while accessing the Internet. 56K
is the highest data rate currently available over a dial-up
connection.
The difference between dial up and dedicated. With a dial
up Internet connection, the user accesses the Internet when
they dial into Joinnet. For the duration of the Internet session,
the user cannot place or receive phone calls on that phone
line. This is different than the varieties of dedicated access,
which continuously connect a computer to the Internet 24 hours,
and often do not interfere with phone service.
Speed:
Dial ups connect to the Internet using that ubiquitous piece
of 1990s desktop technology, the analog modem. Analog modems
come in various different speeds, such as 14.4 Kbps or 28.8
Kbps. The fastest analog modems available provide a connection
at 56 Kbps. This means that data can be transmitted to your
computer at a rate of 56 thousand bits per second. Although
dial up access is slower than many other methods of accessing
the Internet, it is also the cheapest, and remains the most
popular.
Cost:
Dial up access is by far the cheapest means of Internet access.
There is a number of different types of service plans must
be considered. Some plans include a certain number of minutes
of access per month. Other plans offer unlimited access for
a flat rate per month. In addition, you will have additional
services such as e-mail, webmail…etc.
Equipment:
All that is required is an analog modem, which is usually
a PC card that is installed inside the computer. However,
if a customer plans to use the Internet for several hours
a day, and does not want to miss any phone calls, then the
customer may want to install another phone line.
Voice:
None available. Accessing the Internet by way of dial up access
prevents the customer from receiving or placing phone calls
for the duration of the Internet session. If this prospect
is intolerable, then the customer can have an additional phone
line installed by JTC.
