Connecting to internet problems?

I have an emachine, running ME. I was getting a 630 error message so I got a new internal dialup modem. I am no longer getting the errror message, but I still can’t use the internet. I have a manual connection that says it connects, but I can’t open an browser windows. When I use my MSN connection, the little computers in the task bar come up, but when it tries to sign in it says it can’t find a connection to the internet. What’s wrong???

dropping dialup connection?

i use a wireless external dialup modem. Even if I leave the internet connection for downloading through limewire, the connection keeps dropping. I mean, the dialer shows im connected but i dont get any bandwidth. The only option left then is to reconnect manually. I dont think my ISP disconnects me because my connection is not inactive. But the problem arises still after every 10 – 20 minutes. Any answers?

ISP Speeds?

I cleaned off my old Dell desktop that has a dialup modem. Loaded Windows XP Pro – dialup connection dropped to 26.8. Had the geeks come out to assess and was told that my 486 processor was unable to keep up with the OS.

I purchased a new Dell laptop in January thinking that everything would be configured correctly and my dialup would increase a bit.

NOT!!! What is causing this issue?

Also, I heard that Vista will not work with dial up. Is this accurate? I have the upgrade but have not installed it.

What can I learn about getting the highest dial-up modem speed?

How can I monitor my phone line?

I am looking to find a way to record all incoming calls to my home for business reasons. I figure that I probably should get a dialup modem and some kind of program to do the recording. Does anyone know of a good program? I want something that will record calls automatically to my computer without me having to do anything except pick up the phone. Thanks.
