Just kidding. We still have our DSL modem. But for those who know me. I have a computer in my room. And after much creativety, I hooked myself onto internet using a 46.6Kbs dial modem.
I have no phone jack in my room so I used 2 long lines joined by a 1 to 2 spliter and a phone in my room. Anyways, thats not the problem.
The thing is, dial-up uses the phone line. So no one can call. I've heard that some people had dial up WITH the phone line available. How do I do that?

buy what is called a "switchboard".. you can get one online at almost any computer site.
sorta like this
you do NOT NEED 2 phone lines with a switchboard

well. Mine internet is free
We have DSL downstairs with Sympatico, so I just used the same username and password to connect, went to their site got the access number and voil?! Internet in my room. Bah, my parents are having relatives for easter, and they usually dont like being harrased at dinner time by telemarkaters.
Away with 100$ Tele-zapers etc. Just connect your dial-up and you block them away
Also, I've heard that you can, when on the internet and someone calls, a little pop-up appears asking if you want to disconnect and answer or ignore the incomming call. Any truth to this?

*me reads the page*
[addsig]Eventually. But my parents dont want to. When I turn 18 they said probably. Except that the wire would be run in the walls. And 100ft RJ45 cable is expensive here.
[addsig] and network cards are dirt cheap tbh nowadays.. if its just pc to pc you can get by with anything

| You can't have a network cable until you are 18?? What! |
jeff, as a parent, i have to say, don't make fun of nick.. if his parents say 18, its not his choice in the matter.
their reasons are above our question.
