Guest Mr. Low Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Dear Sir, I find that the manul dial up to the DSL connection each time after booting is repeated task. May I know if there is a way to get the connection automatically dial up just after the booting is completed? Thanks Low -- A36B58K641
Guest Unknown Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Re: XP Home - Can I set it to automatically dial up the DSL connection Don't understand. DSL is always connected. There is no need to dial. Set dial up to 'never'.

This term is used to describe a dial-up service which utilizes a compression/caching/graphics-downgrading kludge to make the dial-up service seem faster. DSL depends on having a low-RF carrier superimposed upon existing copper POTS circuits and cannot be dialed into. Here is an excerpt from one provider's (White Mountains) website which lets the cat out of the bag: How does it work? With traditional dial-up methods, the text and graphics that make up web pages get sent from the server to you over your phone line. Because of the large amount of data required to be sent, this process can be painfully slow. Dial-Up DSL compresses this data using a proprietary technology, and sends it over your existing dial-up phone line. This compression process allows a smaller amount data to be sent – up to five times less – making the download time of your web pages and your online experience that much faster. As an added download time reducer, Dial-Up DSL stores elements of the web sites you visit frequently eliminating the need to re-download them every time you visit these sites.

Guest Ace Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Re: XP Home - Can I set it to automatically dial up the DSL connection I'll add a small note - some providers force their users to provide a username and password to a 'dialer' program, which initiates the PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection and establishes PPPoE over cable/dsl modems. These dialers are not the same as compressed dialup. Nowadays, PPPoE dialers are rapidly becoming extinct, but some providers like AOL still desperately cling to it to control their users. I was forced to use such a dialer for a 4Mbit cable connection from 2001 up until 2004, until my ISP replaced the modem during a migration to DHCP based connection management.

Thanks for the information. However in this case, it doesn't matter. My point was that he could well be using what was called dial-up DSL when it was sold to him, and if so, Unknown's statement "there is no need to dial" is not necessarily correct. > This term is used to describe a dial-up service > which utilizes a compression/caching/graphics-downgrading kludge to make > the dial-up service seem faster.
