Summary: Connecting dial modems--use correct jack



One minor point (minor until it gets you):  dial modems,
especially the higher speed ones, may not work properly
because the network interface device has resistors set
for voice use, not data.  It is worth letting your telco
know you are running higher speed data, because your
network interface should then be configured to give you
better signal to noise ratios, not important for voice.

If they're going to charge more for data access, do this
only after you have unacceptable problems.  Your problems,
however, often are in the jack, not the local loop.
