What is DSL?
DSL is the acronym for Digital Subscriber Line. DSL is a technology for bringing high-bandwidth connectivity to homes and small businesses over ordinary copper telephone lines. Connection speeds for DSL typically range from 1.5 Mbps to 3 Mbps downstream and around 640 Kbps upstream.

Why should I consider DSL?

The main reason to consider switching to DSL is speed. Web pages come up in seconds, not minutes, downloads complete in a fraction of the time they do over regular dial up. As the Internet continues to expand in size and popularity, sites and files are growing in size and demand that you have a high speed connection to get the most out of them.
What do I need to get DSL?
  • Phone line
  • DSL modem
  • Windows 95/98/NT
  • 32MB RAM
  • Ethernet Card (or Network Card)
  • Support for 800X600 resolution 16 bit color.
Odds are you already have the main part of DSL, a phone line. The other thing you will need is a DSL modem, which can be bought or we can provide. There are internal and external modems. Since this service will not interfere with your regular phone service, you do not need a second phone line. You can surf and talk on the phone on the same line at the same time.

Can I use the service in more than one location?

No. The DSL service is activated on a specific phone line, it will only work on a line that has had the service activated on it.

Can I use my DSL and regular modem simultaneously?

In theory, yes. . Because your voice bandwidth is not used by the DSL modem, you may use a regular analog modem as well. In practice it is not known for sure how well this will work. Remember that there is a splitter that filters out the DSL bandwidth. It has been reported that the DSL side can leak over into the voice bandwidth. This may affect connection speed with your analog modem.

Can I FAX over DSL?

You cannot FAX using a DSL modem but you can still send and receive faxes over your regular telephone lines though. Upgrading to DSL will add a DSL modem, but if you keep your old modem, you can still use software fax products like WinFaxPro -- they simply use your telephone line as before.
