As above really; I've just upgraded a friends old computer to XP pro (from 98)and I have a spare old Speedtouch 330 usb modem which I would like to use for net access.
The (Gateway) computer is 2000 vintage running a P3 500 chip and although a tad slow, will suffice for what she needs.
As the modem is adsl and the account is dial-up pay-as-you-go (I know, I know!!) is it possible and how?
Any advice greatly appreciated (except those in favour of binning the machine as that is what I advised)
Forgot to say; when I built it at my place, it connected via my router and an old ethernet card to my broadband fine.
