analog modem is the only equipment needed. Most computers come with a modem, so new equipment is usually not needed. The service will allow connections of up to 56 kilobits per second (56K).

No, you do not need broadband internet. Yes a dial-up connection is fast enough to listen. TEAMLINE broadcast are stream around 15kbps, most dialup modems will be able to maintain this speed.

No. Even though system itself runs on the client computer, it relies heavily on the Internet connection. The system will be virtually unusable if a dial-up connection is used.

Presently we do not have dial up or direct access available. There are many low cost ISP's (Internet Service Providers) available, and we are planning to expand to include this capability in the future. In the mean time, check out some of our businesses represented on our sites or on our "links" pages.

You can download music from Fast Atmosphere Artist Downloads using any Internet connection. The faster your connection, the less time it will take to download the music you've selected. We strongly recommend that dial-up users avoid FLAC files due to the amount of time it will take to download these large files using a dial-up connection.

No, you will need local Internet access in order to access the World Wide Web and retrieve email addressed to your site.

This has nothing to do with the hosting of your website. You dial a phone number to access your 'dial-up' ISP to surf the web, or to send/receive e-mail. (You may be also connected to your ISP through 'cable modem' or a dedicated phone line). If you have a normal modem connection, your 'dial-up' ISP must be accessible through a local call to avoid large STD rates.

With ADSL, you open new possibilities for your Internet use. ADSL (512kbits/s) is up to 8 times faster than ISDN and up to 23 times as fast as an analog line connected at 33.6 kbits/s.

It is not a problem to download the program on a slow dial up connection. The audio component will take the longest as it is a rather large file. If your connection drops during download you can easily resume when connected again. Download will take approximately 48 minutes on a very slow connection.

The Library is currently not able to offer TELNET access to a text-only version of the LC Online Catalog. An alternative interface is available using the Library's Z39.50 Gateway. This interface works well with text-based browsers, such as Lynx. To learn more about the Z39.50 protocol for information retrieval, visit the Z39.50 Maintenance Agency Page. The Library is aware of the need for text-based access to the Online Catalog to satisfy the needs of its offsite users.

A dial-up modem connection, with a true connection speed of 48KBps or higher. However, a fast (DSL, Cable Modem, or T1+) connection is definitely a benefit, particularly if the CAD and Digital Image features of CAFM32 are used. Most clients use Proxy Servers or Routers to provide high speed Internet access to users. A good reliable Internet Provider is strongly recommended. Most clients already have this provided by their MIS/IT Department so, it should not be an issue.

A simple telephone modem is fine for all materials, including lectures. See the FAQ on Connection errors below if your RealPlayer freezes or buffers.
