It seems this 'new to me' (essentially new) computer I bought a few
months ago won't connect to the Internet -- at all! Since the only
connection I have is via dial-up, I tracked the problem down to the lack
of a telephone modem in the machine. It's an(other) eMachines, running
Windows Vista; I have only had it booted up twice.
Now my question: do those 'accelerated' phone modems really work for a
bit higher-speed connection? (Best I can get out of my old one is 52 K.
-- please don't scream! LOL) I have my choice of installing a Best
Data 56K V.92/V.44 Windows Internal Modem -- or a Diamond SupraMax LE
56K PCI Fax Modem which claims 'faster Internet Connections.' Both are
new in box, never opened. Whichever one I install, I can begin using the
newer computer and 'retire' this one (my same old eMachines, Windows XP
SP3) to recipes and whatnot. Thanks in advance for any help here.
