Help! I am moving to a new office tomorrow and am in the process of setting up internet connection. I'm spoiled now in the the place I'm currently renting from as they give me 500K+ connection through their network. I cannot get DSL at my new office (too far from central office for Verizon) and it will cost me approx. $125/mo. + ISDN modem + $200+ installation fee for ISDN. This seems like a lot of set-up money when I probably will not be at this location for longer than 1 year. However, I know that I will get frustrated with a single 56K connection.
Okay. So I contacted a company in Phoenix that offers dual 56K connection, or 112K. How it was explained to me is that I will need to get a modem with two connections or two modems that I will hook both my modem line and my fax line into. When I am on-line, I will get 2 1/2 times faster speeds than I would with regular 56k. And when I send or recieve a fax, Windows '98 know how to disconnect the fax line from the modem, thus slowing me down to 56K while the fax is getting sent/recieved and reconnecting when the line is no longer in use.
As I've never heard of this before, I need some advice. Does this work and if it does, is there something specific that I need to do in Windows '98 to make it run smoothly?
Then, would you recommend a two-channel modem or two single channel modems? Whichever way you suggest, do you have 1 or more modem suggestions that I should buy?
Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated!
