No. Lightning DSL is based on very specific hardware. You cannot install any modem to be used with your service.

Yes, as long as your ISP allows multiple IPs per customer, either by the use of a DHCP server or specific IP number leases.

Traditional modem connections take time to connect, sometimes experiencing difficulties and dropping sessions before you are through with them. DSL is an "always on" Internet connection, there is no waiting for the connection and the connection is very robust, rarely interrupted. Traditional modem connections receive a temporary IP (Internet Protocol) number each time they log in to the Internet provider.

Given that a 56k modem typically connects at 48 000bps, our 1 Meg connection is up to 22 times faster than a modem connection, while our 3 Meg connection package is up to 65 times faster.

No problem. You send us your new connecting e-mail address, and we will change the server to forward all mail@thatdomain.com to that new address.

Yes. Any computer that can support the TCP/IP protocol can be used with the DSL Modem. Most late model Macintosh computers (Power PC, including the iMac) have the 10Base-T network connection built in. If you have an older model, which does not have a network connection, you must purchase an appropriate network card and install it in your computer. Most network cards for Apple computers come bundled with the software needed to configure TCP/IP.

When requested during Basic set-up, choose "PPPoA" - Enter your Zhonka account username and password.

We support the G.Lite ITU G.992.2 standard thus a G.992.2 compliant modem should work with our DSL service. We can support PPPoE (RFC 2516) or PPPoA (RFC 2364) standards. Many people have asked specifically about the CISCO 675 modem which is offered by US WEST. The 675 is not a DMT G.Lite modem and it is not supported. The Cisco 678 G.Lite (The 678 is a DMT Full Rate modem and would need a software download to operate in G.Lite mode).

In theory, yes. . Because your voice bandwidth is not used by the DSL modem, you may use a regular analog modem as well. In practice it is not known for sure how well this will work. Remember that there is a splitter that filters out the DSL bandwidth. It has been reported that the DSL side can leak over into the voice bandwidth. This may affect connection speed with your analog modem.

No, at this time you need to use a modem that is compatible with Tusco.Net's and the phone company's DSL equipment. If you want to use a modem from another source, please check with us first to determine compatibility.

No. You cannot receive a fax through a multifunction device (MFD). Impact ColorFax is a PC based fax software application and can receive faxes if the fax modem is connected to the PC and the telephone line is directly connected to the modem. MFDs are stand alone devices with built in color fax capability. Once it receives a fax, it cannot transfer it to the PC as a fax.

This is generally not recommended. Your alarm system uses the standard dial tone on your line but the electronics in the console and management panel may be affected by the higher frequencies of DSL. You should check with your alarm system provider for advice on this question. At a mininum, and if you have no other option, you should use your alarm system in combination with a LOW PASS FREQUENCY FILTER.

There are sample setup strings in the "help" selection of our Windows program, and also on page 4 of the printed manual.

No, JPT cannot be used with these types of modems. JPT can only be used with traditional analog modems (such as the built-in modems that ship with most Macintosh computers) or with Bluetooth mobile phones.

The rule of thumb is the faster the better. You can download shows from umlive.net on a dial-up modem, but it may take about 12 hours or more for one show in standard MP3 format. On a cable modem or DSL it typically takes between 15 minutes to a half-hour to download a show in MP3 format.
