Dialup Internet Access

Posts Tagged ‘something’

Well I just ordered my new laptop online but I realized that we have dial-up (can’t get anything else) and so I need something with a modem!? Do most laptops come with a like 56K modem even if it doesn’t say so, or because no one has dialup anymore did they just stop adding that? If so, is there some sort of a modem I can add with a cable? HELP!

768 kbps dsl is how many times faster than 56k dialup (or 45k what I usually connect at on dialup)? Is it like 12 times faster or something like that?

I’ve been using DU Meter, but it works for mainly dialup. Looking for something that is freeware and will monitor upload and download over a certain amount of time. Then keeps track over a period of a day, week, and month.

I’m going traveling next month and I do have a wireless card on my laptop and know how to look for hotspots, but if I am in a hotel that says it has data ports, what will I need to connect to the internet while in my hotel? Please be real specific, I’m ok at this stuff, but not real familiar. So please expalin what it is if I need a “513″ cord or something like that.
Thanks!
Ps. I looked at another question like mine and it said that you need a dialup isp…WTF is that? (I know what dial up is, just how do you do that when you are used to having your own DSL at home?)

The computer has a 144GB capacity, 76.35GB free space (52%). I cannot complete a disk cleanup. I tried doing a defrag at 2A this morning and at 8A it was only at 32% complete. Where do I start and how do I find out what is using the memory? I use a DSL line, but the computer is performing as if it were a dialup. Also, my hobby is photography…a lot of pixs. This is a Dell..so forget Customer Service.
