Hi peeps,
When installing an ethernet card, can I just leave the dialup modem card in one of slots as a standby if ever the ethernet card or router go wrong. Would the dialup modem work with the micro filter in place assuming I changed the settings back temporarily until I got a new router/ethernet card, whilst falling back onto my phone companies dialup provision. Knowing this would help as I rely on others a lot to get out.Thanks for any replies. tweeter

Peel back your baby's eyelid to find no nationality or religious identity mark there. Peer at your baby's eyes for them to reflect back just people-throw away your flags and religious symbols...

Yep, no problems. You can leave both in.
It would be a good idea though to disconnect the modem cable until you actually need it. The reason is just in case you get caught out by one of them rogue dialling programs. Its hard for them proggy's to dial a 090x number if it isn't connected in the first place!0 -
Thanks hobo28, that means I can order another router/ethernet card online instead of arranging to go to a shop if ever the need happens.tweeter.Peel back your baby's eyelid to find no nationality or religious identity mark there.
