ISP Dial-Up Backup (Dial-Up IP)

All DSL providers include free dial-up time and number for their customers. We recommend dialing up to the ISP and enjoying a 56k connection that is always on, rather than suffer the dial-up connect delays and slow modem response on every spaced transaction. You can use a third party auto-dialer or setup a Windows Dial-Up Networking connection.

Hardware Dial-Up Backup

For credit card software internet security and Dial-Up backup we recommend a hardware firewall router with Dial Back-Up. This is the fastest and most reliable way to setup connection backups. It is superior to software driven backups in many respects.

This is one of the possible setups with Netgear FVS338 ProSafe VPN Firewall 50 with 8-Port 10/100 Switch & Dial Backup (~$150) or similar firewall:

All DSL providers include free dial-up time and number for their customers.

This is much faster and more reliable than dialing up to the processors directly.
