I have an interesting situation, and I'm probably breaking allt he rules by asking
this list, but here goes. I'm fortunate to have both a dial-up and cable
modem set-up here at the house. Usually I would leave my PC connected on the
dial-up so I could send mail, while I did everything else on the Mac via cable. My
ISP insists that out-going mail be sent through dial-up, or using Imail (which I'm
using for this now). Personally I dislike Imail, since replying to an e-mail requires
copying and pasting the message before replying (you catch my drift). A few
weeks ago my PC died, so I haven't been using the dial-up at all.
I understand my ISP's dislike of the cable company, but I need to find a way to
make my life easier. Has anyone set up a computer to do both "together" ? Have
the computer dialed in for one process while doing everything else through cable?
My domain is through my ISP, so I cannot afford to piss them off, but I love the
speed of my cable modem. Dial-up has never gotten me better then a 28.8
connection......on a good day! It's not the ISP's fault, we just have crapy phone
lines were I live.
I have VPC installed on my Mac and windows 2000 Professional. So since I'm using
both is it possible to maybe dial-up via vpc on the windows side to send mail, but
use the cable modem for surfing the web on both sides? Can you tell I'm
desperate? lol
Before you waste your time telling me to drop the ISP and do it all on cable, it's not
that easy. My husband does all the Mac support for the ISP, so doing without isn't
an option, and I really don't want to do without. There have been times when
having the option has come in handy (weather related outages, etc...). Just seems
to me that if we can run windows on a Mac someone has had to figure out how to
be connected to the internet twice, either through one platform or by using both.
Please don't respond to the list with "your crazy" kind of responses, I'm sure I'm
already in enough trouble for abusing it. And I appologize in advance, but I'm sure
someone has had or wanted to do the same type of set-up. No?
