If you have dial up, you are paying for an ISP, Voip service and a phone line?! Wouldn't it be cheaper to go with broadband and then get Voip?! \n\nShort answer: No. Just not enough bandwidth. If you live in an areas without broad band just get two phone lines and be done with it.

No you cannot. Unfortunately you need to have 2 seperate broadband accounts,as an ADSL account is tightly attached to your physical phone line (and number). For a successful ADSL cnnection you need matching:\n- Phone line (that you connect your modem)\n- pppoe/pppoa username/password (sometimes optional)\n\nSo, you cannot share the same ADSL account from 2 seperate phone lines (different numbers).\n\nAs wired networking is out of the question, I'll not get into the details of multiple pppoe/pppoa accounts using a hub/switch, nor internet sharing using NAT/PAT router with a single account (this is the most common option).\n\nIt seems wireless networking is the most cost effective option for the long term.

Due to antitrust restrictions, it's unlikely there will be a single, national local and long distance provider owning all the phone lines into homes and businesses nationwide.  It is possible there will be at least a few more mergers nationwide among local and long distance companies, and possibly cable companies, resulting in 3 or 4 large national teleconm companies, with many very small companies competing for small shares of business.

To connect them select "Direct Cable" when setting up the network. On your dual boot you will have to set it up twice. One in each instance oof windows. ME and W2k.\nIf you decide to setup broadband through one computer and allow the second computer to access the internet thru the first, use two different brand of NIC in the first computer. This will reduce conflicts when setting up your first computer.

you can use but you require internal modem for dialup and modem/router for broadband.sometimes you may face problem because when you are connectr as dialup and someone calls you or you want to make some call then you will be disconnected automatically and speed of connection for dialup decreases very much.

The provider offers different DSL plans with different speeds .. If it's all DSL and not dial-up and if you want to save money and can get by with the lower speeds, ask them if you can switch plans... they'll take care of it at the phone company, and you keep the modem.

in my experience as a life long bt customer and with bt broadband since its inception,i have found that any router will work with bt broadband but you have to make sure its a "modem router"\n        cable broadband such as n.t.l use a cable router,as the adsl signal they use is different to a adsl signal on a phone line\n        so when buying a modem router or sometimes known as a "router modem" just check the box or specifications and it will normally tell you if its comaptible with bt,such companys like dabs(http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=3XWK&CategorySelectedId=11177&PageMode=1&NavigationKey=11177,4294960266&InMerch=1) and misco(http://www.misco.co.uk/categories/~1231~/Wired.htm)are among the best and the cheapest broadband modem routers you can buy,i use dabs all the time ecspecially for graphic cards and memory\n               good luck

Do you mean services?\n\nPhone lines are easy - contact BT or alternatinve suppliers in your area like cable.\n\nIf you need water, gas, sewage or electricity that is a more involved process on which I am happy to advise if you wish.

Yes, it is possilble to use two or more routers with one DSL line. All you have to do is change each routers' default IP address to something that wouldn't conflit with the DSL modem. For example, if your DSL modem has 192.168.1.1, change the routers' IPs to 192.168.2.1, 192.168.3.1, etc.

you need... \na network card install on you pc\na router if you want to share internet connection with other pc, wireless if you have difficulties do wiring.\na broadband modem that compile with with dsl providers spec., your dsl provider probably supply that too, see what option they got, if they sell it, they usually charge more than retail.\nline filters for your land line phone, 1 for each phone at your place, if you use voip, you dont need them, your dsl provider would supply that too.
