Dialup access to the Internet refers to a regular modem connection to the Internet (28 8 - 56 Kbps; V 90, x2 or K56flex) Regular modems connect to the Internet by 'dialing up' to a Point of Presence (PoP), or dialup location, with a phone number, hence the term 'dialup Windows 95/98 users use Microsoft Dial-Up Networking to connect to the Internet with a regular modem, while Macintosh users use FreePPP High Speed Internet access usually entails a constant connection to the Internet whenever both your computer and high speed modem are turned on
A router that handles connections from non-private circuit customers (ie, analogue or ISDN calls) This can include remote access servers/concentrators, direct dial servers/concentrators, and terminal/communication servers
