How can I setup a dial up internet connection and broadband connection
on the same computer? We need to transmit med claim forms by modem but
would like the speed and convenience of the dsl connection for updats
and web browsing.

Just get DSL. Dialup usually comes with it. I can send receive faxes via
modem while browsing the web using DSL.

Just do it. There is no real problem doing so.

Dialup modem connected to the phone socket on the microfilter, and dsl modem
connected to the ADSL Modem socket.

Guess I need to give a little more info here....
We have two computers networked. The backoffice has XP Pro and the front
desk has XP Home. The front desk has had a dial up connection for a
couple years. Worked fine. Now, since the installation of the back
office machine and the network, setup with DSL, when the front desk
tries to dial out on the modem, the DSL modem lights up like a flashing
Christmas tree. The dial up modem tries to connect but fails. And yes,
the wizard was used. I'm going back tomorrow to try removing the dial up
connection altogether and just setup DSL first, then try adding the Dial
up. GTCom is the ISP for the DSL and Dial up and they never heard of
using both types of internet access on the same system....... hmmmm.
Thanks in advance again, for any other suggestions.

In some cases you still need dial-up to connect outbound to something
not on the Internet, this still requires a modem. Using a modem does not
break your local network, but it can mean that you can't use the
resources of your local network while on Dial-Up. If you have things
setup correctly, when you dial out, all traffic will be routed to the
Dial-Up connection.

If you're seeing lots of extra DSL traffic when you start the dial-up
session, then you don't have it configured correctly. You don't need to
use the Wizards, just remove the dial-up service, then reinstall it, and
the make the dial-up connection manually when needed.

Internet connection to the DSL would use the LAN settings
and the Internet connection should be set to never dial a
connection. The FAX would dial out to the telephone system
and not connect to the Internet at all. The FAX service and
the Internet use two different modes.

This "sounds: like the dial-up modem is sharing the phone line of the DSL
unit and the modem does not have a "microfilter" in between the thw wall
jack/phone and the modem.

Also, the dial-up connection should be using a separate account. It could
be a problem where both are using the "same" account, which a lot of ISPs do
not allow.

BINGO!
You win the prize...... that was it exactly.
I called in and had the manager move the modem line over to the FAX line
and all is well.
Really appreciate all the help here!
Saves lots of greif!
