How does hi speed dial up work?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Almost exactly like regular dialup, except that the ISP is compressing the data sent to/from your computer so that it travels faster. There is some overhead on your computer for the software to handle this, so some older or less peppy computers will slow down using this model.

Can you play old computer games on new computers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are several options for installing old games on newer computers. A common problem is that 16-bit games do not run on 64-bit computers. One option may be to install a 32-bit operating system. If that is unfeasible, then there are still other options.

Some of the 16-bit games have 32-bit versions. For instance, if you play Doom, Doom 2, Hexen, Heretic, Duke Nukem 3D and similar, there are 3rd-party game engines. So you can install an alternative game engine and copy in your genuine game files and use the 3rd-party game engine to play the game files. Good Ole Games is a company that takes some of the older classics from MS-DOS days and converts them to 32-bit Windows versions. So from them, you can get things like Beneath a Steel Sky, Kingpin: Life of Crime, and all of the Police Academy games.

Another option is to install an emulator program. DOS Box is one example. It will give you a 16-bit compatible DOS command line window where you can run many of the old 16-bit compatible programs, including games. Not everything will work, and there may be some performance issues, but it is still a handy program. There are other emulators as well.

There are also emulators for other platforms. For instance, there are emulators for most of the older gaming consoles, and even older computers like TI 99/4A, Atari 800, etc. To use the console emulators, you would need the cartridge binaries. Some people have extracted the cartridge code and copied it to PC files, and if you have a compatible console emulator, you can run it. Of course, if you download such cartridge binary dump files, you do need to have the rights to use it. Downloading a binary of a cartridge game you already own is legal, but downloading a game you never owned (or have transferred to another) is not.

What technique is used to achieve 1-Gbps throughput over a CAT 5 cable?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

CAT5 cable is actually not able to sustain 1Gbps transfer rates, as the two pairs that are used only for grounding in CAT5, and are used for signal in CAT6, are not controlled as tightly as is necessary for full throughput. A gigabit network, finding itself connected with CAT5 cable, will degrade itself to 300Mbps.

Is 3000 k faster then 1.0 mbps?

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. 1 megabyte is approximately 1000 kilobytes, so 3000 k is the same as 3.0 mbps.

Usually, yes. But mobile processors are very expensive, so it usually isn't cost-effective to try to upgrade it. Make absolutely sure you buy the correct processor for your socket, as there are many similar but incompatible sockets.

What are the major differences between cable modems and DSL modems?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cable modem connects through fibre optic DLS through phone line. Cable boasts faster speed than DSL Internet in theory. However, cable does not always deliver on the promise in everyday practical use. Cable modem services can slow down significantly if many people in your neighborhood access the Internet simultaenously. Both cable modem and DSL performance vary from one minute to the next depending on the pattern of use and traffic congestion on the Internet. DSL and cable Internet providers often implement so-called "speed caps" that limit the bandwidth of their services. Some home networks cannot match the speed of the Internet connection, lowering your performance

How do you connect three routers in packet tracer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To connect multiple routers in PacketTracer 5.2, first select the "routers" section in the bottom left hand corner. From there, you can drag two routers from the pane to the right onto the working area (the large white space on your screen). Once both routers are on the screen, click "connections" (the lightning bolt) in the lower left, and click on "Automatically choose connection type" (the first one) OR "Copper crossover" (the fourth one). You will get a cursor that looks somewhat like a taser gun. Click once on each router, and you will see a cable created between them with a red dot on either end. You can now configure and power on both routers, and they will be able to communicate.

Be sure when configuring both routers that you go into the Interface section and check that at least one FastEthernet port is set as "ON", so that the routers can communicate.

Is it possible to connect a WiFi modem to another home line?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I wifi modem is a modem that connects to you internet service provide (usually cable could be fiber or DSL) which also and has wifi capabilities. If you phrased the question properly this is both a modem and router in one unit. You can connect multiple PCs to wifi routers/modem. You can also have setups of wired computers and wireless pcs all sharing a router, provided it has enough ports. When you say homeline I am a bit confused, does this mean multiple pcs or multiple inputs from ISP into router. I have never seen a modem that has multiple cable/telephone inputs. I would think the benefit you are looking for here would be to increase your bandwidth. If you need more bandwith you need to contact your ISP and change to a different package. If you just want to run multiple pcs using one modem/wifi router, your good to go. If you run into setup problems (ideally its Plug and Play) call your ISP and they will walk you through it.

Is it safe for a modem and wireless router to be set-up in the baby's room?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is no experimental evidence that routers cause any harm. Modem is safe for sure because it transports all signals through cable. With router it's more complicated. If you want to be on safe side do not put router in the baby's room (just in case).

Asked by Wiki User

Answer

These modems are in use now.

Modem Who uses it Provided by

Cable: Cable Provider: Time Warner's Road Runner/Adelphia

DSL: Phone Company: SBCYahoo/BellSouth

56k: Dial up: AOL/NetZERO


Answer

Of the top of my head:
Standard telephony modems, from 200 baud to 56k
ISDN, at about 122k or so
DSL, Cable, Satellite, Powerline...there are probably also a lot of subtypes that I've Never Heard Of.

T1 and T3 are both examples of high-speed telephone lines. Both of them may be used to provide broadband internet access. Technically, a T1 connection is a fiber-optic or copper line that is separate from the regular phone line. However, the T1 line can be used for both broadband Internet access in addition to phone purposes.

T1 and T3 lines are commonly used by businesses because they offer very fast data transfer rates. This is appealing to businesses that need to transfer large amounts of data each day. Additionally, T lines provide very reliable forms of Internet access, with "always on" capability and very few incidences of lost Internet connections. In terms of speed, T1 lines operate at 1.5 Mbps, and T3 lines operate at 44.6 Mbps. In other words, T3 lines are about 30 times faster than T1. These high speeds are very useful for heavy Internet traffic situations as well as for situations in which a network must be accessed by a larger number of users. A T1 line operating at full capacity can accommodate up to 24 users working at 64 Kbps. http://www.broadbandinfo.com/cable/broadband/what-are-t1-and-t3-internet-connections-and-who-uses-them.html
