Excellent ADSL Broadband dial-up king for virtual dialing

The author uses ADSL for 40 hours every month. He does not want to pay high network fees due to timeout or waste valuable time on accessing the Internet, therefore, you often need to log on to the official website to query the exact Internet access time, and then add it to subtract it, for fear that the calculation is "Incorrect", but this operation is indeed very troublesome. Therefore, I very much hope that such a virtual dialing software can record the Internet time, enable automatic dial-up after permanent online startup, and enable reconnection ), and it is best to use free software, Chinese, simple, and stable ...... I think the above requirements are also needed by most of my friends who use ADSL. Recently, Xiaosheng discovered such a software. after trial, it worked well. It is the adsldial number king, an excellent virtual dialing software.

I. Software Installation and Use

After running the installation program, click "Next" to complete the installation. You do not need to manually add the protocol driver on the network properties page or set any parameters. after starting the adsldial, you only need to enter the user name and password, you can easily go online. Figure 1 shows the main interface of the adsl. Unfortunately, the link content in the red box below the interface is somewhat redundant. Both the "Broadband dial King" and "Super network management" options actually point to the same webpage, this is hard to understand.

Tip: During the installation process, you may be prompted to insert the Windows 98 installation disk, so you need to prepare it in advance. In addition, before installing this software, uninstall other PPPoE dialing software, otherwise they may affect the normal operation of the adsldial number king, and install two PPPoE dialing software at the same time will reduce the network speed.

Ii. functions and applications of software

1. Fault Detection & Logging

The adsldial King provides the fault detection function, which can be used to locate some common faults, for example, the NIC device is not ready, the network cable is not plugged in, the NIC Driver is lost or disabled, the user and the local network are not smooth, and the DNS server is wrong. As shown in figure 2, this is the diagnosis result when I unplug the ADSL power supply.

Figure 2 ADSL Fault Detection

We have determined that there is no problem with the NIC and the driver, but the ADSL Modem, DSLAM, and BRAS may have faults. By selecting "detailed diagnosis information ", we can also further understand the Fault Cause 3). This is a summary of the fault. The "cause" mentioned here is the problem of ADSL connection. The ADSL Modem is not connected to the Hub ), however, unfortunately, no more accurate information is provided, so it is still difficult for common users to use this function to determine the fault. This is exactly what adsldial should be improved. It is not difficult to see that the diagnostic function is still in its infancy. I hope it can be enhanced in future versions. In addition, although the log function can record problems in operation in detail, it provides software developers with a basis for improvement errors, but it is difficult to set up, therefore, I think it is not very useful for most users.

2. Reminder and automatic launch

For subscription users, the adsldial number allows us to easily query our online records without having to log on to the fee query website, information such as "User Name", "ip address", "Start time", "end time", and "traffic" are clear at a glance and can be quickly queried by date. When the time on the Internet is approaching the upper limit, A prompt is displayed automatically. The setting method is as follows: 4) you only need to enter the time for accessing the Internet each month, and then tick the line before "the time of each month reaches the upper limit to disconnect.

In addition to the above features, we can also easily Enable Automatic Internet access at startup, as shown in Figure 5), you only need to check the startup, automatic connection, and reconnection after the disconnection. The simplest setting achieves the most satisfactory results, which is the fastest place for adsldial.

Iii. Others

The adsl supports multiple access methods, such as xDSL, LAN, WLAN, and GPRS. In addition, the dialing speed is much faster than that of the virtual dialing program provided by Windows XP, but the CPU usage is very small, which is about 1%, and the memory usage is about two megabytes ), it can also work in Windows 98 Second edition, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP systems.

4. Some regrets

After a period of use, I found that the adsldial number owner has some improvements. I have mentioned some of the above. I will not repeat them here, but the most prominent problem is "Product Innovation ". Although this is a very useful software, it can smoothly run many mainstream functions of the virtual dialing software, but in addition to a prototype of fault diagnosis function, there is no substantial innovation between other features and similar products, which is indeed a pity. This is also a place that developers should pay attention.

Note: adsldial number owner applies a charging system for enterprises, but promises to provide extremely low prices for ISP and ADSL equipment vendors.
