| 70422 | 2002-08-12 10:15:00 | I presently have access to internet/email via a modem on my work PC. We are in the process of moving to a LAN access via an intranet to access the internet and email. Can I still retain duel access ie still retain my modem dial-up access to email while still using the LAN connection. MyLAN email address/server will be different than my modem dial up access Any help will be appreciated. | Muzz (1286) | ||
| 70423 | 2002-08-12 10:45:00 | Yeah you could do that. Though why would you when they are getting (probably) faster internet/email access. |

| 70425 | 2002-08-12 11:06:00 | The question is WHY? I did it once for (work related) FTP. The server was an FTP free zone so the only way I could use FTP was to tie up my phone line with a modem. Before doing it check the IT policies at work. They may have reasons - such as virus protection, site filtering or phone use - and severly frown on what you want to do. |

| 70426 | 2002-08-12 11:30:00 | i got that on a lappy that i help maintain.. there is only one good reason for it, it's a lappy, as such there are problems getting the cable to reach the hub of the main network when the lappy is in say, OZ. As a rule it is one way of connecting , or another. Dial up sucks as we know, so be glad you are about to share a desent sized connection (hopefully) |
