A friend is visiting with her tower and has been using suddenlink DSL. I have dialup only so far. Can she use her computer via dialup and how does it have to be configured to be able to do that? Thank you. Thom

As long as there is a modem in the computer, and you know youre access #'s and credentials, then she can share your account when you aren't online. she won't like the 1/10th speed. Dialup is 10% at best

If you go to sites with lots of text and not many pictures, there is hardly any difference in speed. It is only sites that have tons of pictures to download that you'll notice the speed difference.
If you have a crossover cable and 2 network cards, you can share the dial up line. I didn't find many problems with it on 56K dial up and 4 PCs browsing.

Hello. I guess I should have restated the question. I have a tower that was in use with DSL and want to use it at another location but there is only dialup access. What do I need to do to be able to get online with the tower? Thanks, Thom
Do you have an external or internal dialup modem?
If you have an internal dialup modem, it needs to be installed in the tower.
If it is an external dialup modem, just connect it to the tower. Set up the tower the same as you did on your machine and you should be OK.

You didn't need to restate the question, you needed to understand the answers as they are correct.
This is a Signature and not part of the answer, it appears on every reply.
This is an Analogy so don't take it personally as some have.
Why change the engine if all you need is to change the spark plugs.
