The more PC's you have plugged into the phone, the slower the speed ;
I imagine it's the same for anything that doesn't have a mechanical
switch to disconnect the line when it's not in use.

If you have an outdoor customer jack (that some phone companies put
out there so you can diagnose whether your phone troubles are indoor,
and your responsibility, or outdoor, and their responsibility), plug
the PC into that directly and see what speed you get.

What? Someone is still using dial up? If I had to put up with
20-40K baud, I'd have shot myself a long time ago!

You would use it and like it if it was all you had. :)

Where she lives I don't think they will ever get broadband.

They haven't had electricity long. :)

Look at the header on this message, win95 and Netscape 2.0. I'm not
an early adopter.

The trick in surfing is
Automatically Load Images - OFF
Javascript - OFF

You don't see many ads, either.

Thanks to all the informative replies. My sister would rather just
deal with slow dial up than have me disable or tamper with the
security system. The reason I asked was just to find out if the
security system was a common reason for the dial up to be slow.

Plugging the PC directly to the box would be a very quick way to find
out.

Thanks
