Dial up | ||||||||||||||||
|
A temporary network connection you
make over the regular phone system, rather than one through an internal
network or permanent leased line. Most likely, this is the way you'd connect
to the Internet or an online service at home or a small business. While
dialup connections are fine for reading information and for interaction on
your own schedule, they are not considered suitable for posting World Wide
Web pages, because you may not be connected when someone else wants to
access pages you supply. Because your data must pass through a telephone
network designed primarily for voice data, dialup connections are usually
limited in speed. If too many people try to access the same group of
connections, you may get a busy signal instead. Depending on the policy of
your network provider, a dialup user may also get a different temporary
network address on the Internet each time, rather than a permanent address.
That makes it impossible to use certain more technical programs. Dialup access to the Internet refers to a regular modem connection to the Internet (28.8 - 56 Kbps; V.90, x2 or K56flex). Regular modems connect to the Internet by 'dialing up' to a Point of Presence (PoP), or dialup location, with a phone number, hence the term 'dialup. Windows 95/98 users use Microsoft Dial-Up Networking to connect to the Internet with a regular modem, while Macintosh users use FreePPP. High Speed Internet access usually entails a constant connection to the Internet whenever both your computer and high speed modem are turned on. A widely-used method of accessing the Internet. A dialup connection uses regular phone lines to connect one computer to another via modem. |
