ok i live in remote area of california, and the only thing availabe is dailup or sat and ill be damned if imma pay for satillite net just not worth the pain in my opinion.

ok my question is
is it possible to have 2 dailup accounts going at the same time on 1 pc and if so how do i go about setting that up.
someone told me it was but the guy seemed more of an idiot then a tech.

for future reference, it's "dialup," not "dailup."

My condolences to you if comcast comes in with no competition. I used to work in that area of business and their reputation isn't good to say the least.

I had two dail up ISPs on my computer for a while when I was
deciding which company to stay with. I only have one phone line and
it worked just fine.
Neither one was set as default. I had set at never automatically
dial a connection. When going to the internet I would click on the
desktop icon of the one I wanted to use. Then clicked on the
connect button. I did not use Internet Explorer when I was using
that system. I used the search engine the ISP had to connect to
any search engine I wanted to use.
Guess I was too unschooled in this stuff to know it wasn't supposed
to work. It just did.

having the software for two providers is just fine, shardel. smee was talking about having two connections active at once, which is physically impossible with only one phone line and dialup.
