first of all… sorry if I post it in here (it should be in the technology forum, but it’s only for registered users and I don’t think it’s worth all the effort to go through it just for some simple questions)…
how much is the price for a good adsl modem in taiwan?
or are we condemned to use the ones provided by chunghwa telecom?
btw… what’s that thing so much touted around called ‘hi-building’?
is it some kind of hinet only building?
what if I use seednet adsl in a ‘hi-building’?
firewalls for adsl… there is that thing from trendmicro called ‘gate-lock’… is it good?
does it have an english manual?
are there any prepaid cards for adsl, like the ones used for dialup?
Gee…I don’t visit for a month and everything changes around here…
I don’t think you can really buy them in a store. There’s no market since everyone rents the modems.
Hi-building is basically where hi-net pulls a T1 (or something like that) to your apartment building and it’s shared between all the residents. It requires that your apt. building contract with Hinet. It’s cheaper but speeds are slower.
I don’t think it matters which dsl provider you use. The hibuilding part shouldn’t block anything.
No comment. As far as I can tell, firewalls for home users are just marketing gimmicks.
A few providers off this, I don’t remember which ones but at one point in time, they did.
Yea. That’s for dialup. At most it is useful for someone to make a youtube video out of it and put it on the shelf, but dialup modems are the least useful aspect of retro computing.
