ISP Glossary:
Reseat - Hi all,I'm looking at maybe switching to Vonage for a second home line, andif it works out, switching my primary line to it as well (to have twolines). Problem is I need one line to be a modem line because I dialinto my home network from work from time to time. Can anyone givecomments on the quality of this? My cablemodem is Time Warner, whichis 2-3 Megs down and 384K up, so this should be more then enoughbandwidth.Thanks for any suggestions.Alex.[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I am assuming you already have a linewith a modem attached for the occassions when you wish to do dial upsometimes. So do I. Vonage works on your cable modem line. Your othermodem (used as a dialup on the phone line is a separate matterentirely. It rarely suits me to use dialup these days, but I can ifI want to. From the keyboard I just turn on one or the other. Youwon't really have much luck using *two* Vonage lines on the samecable. It just stretches the limit a bit too far, IMO. But if youdecide to try Vonage, you just attach the box to your cable modemright in between the cable modem and the computer. If you need to haveboth devices (Vonage and your dialup modem) in the line at the sametime, there should be no trouble. Vonage works via the cable and yourmodem works via the phone line. If you decide to try TWO Vonage linesand your cable can handle it AND your computer is fast enough andsturdy enough, it still should have no affect on your dialup modemwhich is a separate thing entirely. One common mistake people oftentimes make is in calling the 'cable modem' a modem. It really isn'ta 'modem' in the sense a dialup thing attached to your phone line is.PAT]
