Thanks just never heard of it. They still can't get there up and running. So I wonder what there problem is. Like I said I don't use DLS so i have no clue to how it is setup or if there is even such a modem. I will send them the web site. They can go from there. Thanks again. Are they better for performance or not. Or is a regular modem better. My neighbor wants to know. I can not answer his question.Plus is there any web page that might help him setup his DLS with This modem He has the software but can not get online.

Performance is the same, however, they require drivers and cannot be used w/ routers, obviously. I'm not sure if your neighbor has an Efficient Networks (they might), I just posted that link as an example.

Ok thanks! They bought the computer threw a our phone company On a deal they could try DLS free for a year. It is a COMPAC. 566 celeron with 64 megs and a ten gig hard drive with the DLS Modem Built In it.I think maybe they might have got a lemon. Because he has been complaining about it sense he got it. I will send him the web page. He can go from there. I have told him to call the phone company. But he just keeps messing with it. So this is the last time I am going to help him.It seems the more he messes with it the more problems he has. Oh well thanks anyway.

If so, filters before each phone or a splitter at the NID?

My neighbor just bought a computer. It has free DLs service. He claims the card in the machine is all he needs to connect the dsl up. I don't use DLS. But I always thought you had to have a modem Like cable. Or is there such a thing as a built in modem on the card he has for DLS. Needless to say his doesn't work. But when he calls the computers manufacter They claim he does not need a modem. Has anyone heard of this or knows why his services won't work.

[Storm90]

No it is threw Ameritech. But I will pass this information to him. Thanks! Thats are main phone service here in Canton ,Ohio.Sorry I forgot to add to this is a new service for the phone company. They just started offering DLS. Its Only 128 up and 350 down Is what my neighbor said.

[ 02-26-2001: Message edited by: Storm90 ]In my area Pac Bell had (has?) a similar Compaq/DSL deal. Anyway, those speeds don't sound right. Are those the actual speeds or the package caps?

[Storm90]

I think they are with the package. Any way he finally called them. They came out and said the modem in the computer was no good . So now he has to wait for them to send him another one. He really don't know that much about computers . So in order to get any thing out of him I have to take a look at the computer. But from what I read of the papers that came with it. These are the speeds listed. I think maybe this computer company has deals setup with most of the phone companys. But after the frist year they will have to pay 39.99 a month.I do no one thing he did was delete the software out for his DLS. He said the phone company reinstalled the software. So till he gets the new modem I won't know much. DLS is just new to this area. I guess this is the fasted they are offering on this deal. Thanks. I will let you no if he ever gets it up. You are proubly right about the caps.
