[dba-Tech] Determine if modem should answer or not.

I'm pretty sure connection squatting is illegal... I know the ISP's here
don't like you sharing it with other people either. Probably cos it means
they won't get their pound of flesh.

I tried the dial up line for my broadband with my brother, and when I was
using broadband, he couldn't dial in and vice versa - their reasoning was
"how can you use a pc at home and somewhere else at the same time?" I said
that my dad uses broadband at home and if I was somewhere else, why couldn't
I dial in too? I pay the bills etc... but they weren't having any of it.

Hi Drew,

Some random thoughts

I wonder with just a wireless card, how many OTHER PEOPLE's wireless
routers she might be able to hook into?  Perhaps she could just squat
on someone elses connection?

Other than that you might be better off paying for her dialup
connection to a regular ISP yourself rather than paying for a second
phone line yourself.

Another thought - perhaps your DSL has a dialup # for times when you
would be travelling? If so, maybe she could use that?

How about something like PC Anywhere or an equivelent? Maybe Net
Meeting? She could dial into one of your systems and then browse using
that?

I think there are phone line switches that can recognize if it's
amodem on the other end and then hook to the modem on your end
