XP Home - Can I set it to automatically dial up the DSL connection


Recommended Posts

Posted

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

Don't understand. DSL is always connected. There is no need to dial. Set

dial up to 'never'.

What you say is usually correct, but not always. Dial-up DSL is

available (at a lower price), at least in some parts of the US.

Fact is that "dial-up DSL" is not DSL at all -- it couldn't be further

from DSL if it tried. 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.

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.
