The disadvantages compared to a permanent connection are You are not permanently connected and you have to dial-up each time you want to use the Internet. Only one person at any one time can make use of the Internet Modem dial-up is slower compared to ISDN dial-up or 64kb permanent connections Who should use it? Modem dial-up is sufficient for private use or small companies which only use the Internet for specific tasks such as email or surfing the net (one person at a time). If more intensive work on the internet is to be done a permanent connection would be advised. Requirements: GUI Interface (Windows based platform) such as Windows 3.1/3.11 Windows 95/98/98SE NT 2000 or XP OS/2 Apple Macintosh 9600 or higher speed modem (56KB/s recommended) 20 MB of hard disk space Basic knowledge on how to operate a computer For high-speed connections (anything better than 14.4kb) a 16550 buffered UART chip is required for optimal performance. A telephone line Recommendations: Your modem telephone line should preferably be a direct line and not be going through a switchboard or PABX system, if a new line is going to be installed for the modem it would be ideal to ensure it is a electronic exchange line and does not have a 1+1 system fitted.
