its easy to share dial up. you will have to go through the pc that has the modem. and use a crossover cable from that pc to the next pc. when you right click on the dialup connection in the network connections page. click properties and go to the advance tab, there will be a option in there for sharing the internet connection.

I had dialup for like 6 years...never knew you could do that.  I recently got satellite internet (way better than dialup).

Choke, puke, cough, cough, try satellite. DirecWay, Earthlink, etc... Faster than dial up to share at least.

TimPawlak if you wanted you could get a cheap second line installed in your house, then put 2 modems in your computer, and do modem bonding, and double your speed.

Yeah i shared dialup for a while.. what I did was have a host computer that would stay online all the time.. I rigged AOL with a program that would generate traffic so that you wouldnt get signed off.. then set up the browersers.. and i was good..

I am pretty sure that your ISP has to support dual modem connections.. otherwise it will not work.  Most of the ISPs dont support this anymore... they would rather  sell you broadband than have you make your own.

most wount support it but there are a few, bellsouth does support it, and i know netzero/juno supports it. i did it with 4 modems on netzero, and did the same thing you did swimmer had a host computer that would stay on all the time. i was getting about 190-210Kbps on 4 modems.

Maybe that is how ROM-DOS achieves his speeds. That is very interestng!!!!

So instead of just splitting 56k into twin 28k's, you can actually double or triple 56k onto one computer, for $9.98 per month? Requires 2 computers or modems? Really interesting stuff, and cheap to experiment with. A little more details please???

Sounds like that would beat the hel_ out of partial T-1 for price. MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!! Sort of like sticking 4 carburetors on a 4 cylinder engine and getting it to run right. Bad  as_ 4 banger. Hmm. Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked Arrow
