Nope. You need a dial-up modem. You've got an ADSL modem.

You can plug an ordinary modem into any 'phone socket and use it. It
needs to me filtered (micro filter) or it may interfere with your ADSL
connection.

I had the same problem with my adsl router, but found that the only way I
could do this was to install a dial up 56k modem and do it the old fashion
way.

I wonder if you might need to disable your PC's network connection
temporarily when you do this so that the PC only sees one TCP/IP connection
(via dial-up). If you have several routes to access the same address, TCP
might try the fastest (ADSL) and then give up when it doesn't get a reply
from your freeserve address - or even worse, if it gets a "sod off, you're
not accessing this via freeserve dial-up" response.

Certainly that's what I'd suggest you try if you have any problem accessing
your site over dial-up.

I don't know the technical answer.

I transferred to ADSL (from ISDN) eleven days ago but still needed to
dial up to one account. I just dug my old modem out, dusted it off,
tried to remember what a serial connector looked like, plugged it in
and it worked.

ADSL was still connected and when my email client went through each
account to collect mail it dialled that account via the modem. This
stuff is getting a bit too clever for me.

Have you a link for the error message that starts "sod off, you're not
accessing this...", haven't seen that one before :-)

It should work via both, if you tell it to. Probably easier to set
your browser to 'always dial my default connection' temporarily.

I think the dial-up connection pretty much "takes over". That is, if you
establish a dial-up connection, all Internet access will use that dial-up
connection.

Yeah, that's exactly what happens on the odd occasion I do it, it's as if my
adsl connection disappeared, until I uninstall the dial-up and then M$ make it
magically reappear again.
