    Ok..

    Besides the whole back-up to failed broadband, it's useful to use as fax (if it's a fax modem) and as an answering machine (if you don't have one)....

    It's also good to have when you play older games like Doom and Starcraft over the phoneline...

    Just use your imagination (and google) and you'll find things to use it...

    My broadband seems to go down a goob bit. I have my 56k as a back up. Just incase I get the urge to come here ;p. But you have to pay for two ISPs.

    Hmm...theres something a little peculiar here. Oh i see what it is! the sentence is talking about itself! do you see that? what do you mean? sentences can\'t talk! No, but they REFER to things, and this one refers directly-unambigeously-unmistakably-to the very sentence which it is!

    Huntx7 (any one else interested) > You may want to see if your broadband provider offers free dial-up services. I, for instance, have SBC Pacific Bell DSL service (I have a business plan, but this applies to residential as well), and they offer free dial-up since they realize that either the DSL service cand go down, or sometimes customers travel and do not want to spend extra for another dial-up service. I assume that at least some other broadband providers do so, since it will entice more people to sign up with them. Might want to call your service provider and find out.
