What is 'dial-up modem access'?

USP Networks : Support :FAQs
The term Dial-Up refers to an Internet connection over a phone line where you must dial the phone number of an Internet Service Provider. Each dial-up customer shares the ISP's bank of modems with all of the ISP's other dial-up customers, which is a more efficient use of the ISP's resources. When one customer disconnects from the ISP, the Internet Protocol address temporarily assigned to that customer becomes available for the next caller.

More than likely, any existing router you already have will not work to connect to the DSL, even if it is a DSL Router or Modem. The DSL industry is still working to agree upon a common, standard communications protocol for DSL equipment. Once you have one of our DSL modems setup, you may be able to connect your own router to it. In doing so, it is possible to serve more computers within your own network.

Why is my modem getting NO DIAL TONE?

Toll Free Dialup - FAQ's
The most obvious cause is that you've neglected to plug your telephone line into your modem. Double check to make sure it's plugged in securely. A common problem is plugging your telephone line into the wrong jack on your modem. Many modems have two jacks, one for the telephone line and one for a telephone handset. On some of these modems (e.g., USRobotics), you won't be able to get a dial tone or be able to use the modem if you plug the telephone line into the telephone handset jack.
