Keep Modem From Disconnecting
If you modem goes offline frequently, it may be due to a temporary lost carrier. To lengthen the time the modem will go offline after the carrier is lost, change the modem properties.
-Open up the Control Panel
-Double click on the Modem icon
-Click on Properties / Connection / Advanced
-In the Extra Settings, enter S10=10
-This will enable the modem to stay connected without a carrier for up to 10 seconds.

do you have to have 2 modems?  |
|
|
|

No, actually I have I cable modem.  |

Well, I think the ISP has to set up multi-link on their end for it to work. I've never heard of one that did. Multi-link is a Microsoft idea.
Some ISPs were using Diamond's dual modem setup. I'm not sure if any of them still do.

Back in the day (96-97) I had 2 Diamond Shotgun modem setup. I had an ISP that supported it. It worked good, and did have a faster connection.
I don't think too many ISPs support dual modem setups anymore.

i thought he was referring to dial-up and ifso you can use you isp account on more then one computer at the same time...  |

No, Theemon.
I don't believe so.
|
|
|

|
|
what that you cant use the same isp? or noto dial-up?
|

You cannot dial-up to your ISP with more than one modem unless your ISP supports it. If they do, they charge you more.
Most ISP's specifically check to see if your user account is being used for more than one connection. If so, they terminate your service.

ISP connect?
Replying to the conversation on using 2 different PC's to connect to the same ISP account,,Never in my neck of the woods..Believe me I tried. One PC connects great,when I attempt to connect with the other using the same account,,Boot city..So,now I have 2 Isp accounts,2 seperate lines.I hate it,So I'm really interested in trying to run two modems at once,I love to experiment with these PC's,,I want to network the 2 together,,Somewhere I read this can be done using the modems! I'm willing to try most anything as long as it doesn't fry my chips,lol. Happy PC'ing..  |
