Hi,
I have two email addresses with Orange (Freeserve) and I have set Thunderbird to collect messages from Freeserve, so I that I do not have to register on several forums. These addresses are on Pay-as-U-Go dial up connections, which have to be dialed every 3 months otherwise the ISP would terminate them.
I could create dialup connection in a matter of minutes on this computer, but would that cause problems with broadband?
Thanks,
Alex

I do it all the time (well every 6 weeks) - no problem as long as it isn't a PlusNet dialup

Best to plug the dial-up modem in via the 'telephone' side of a microfilter though if you don't want it to interrupt the broadband connection.

I didn't think you could plug it into the wrong slot as it won't fit - at least it doesn't on my connector

It does if you unplug the lead from the back of the ADSL modem and plug it into the dial-up modem

Now that would really mess up your broadband connection
