What Is the Definition of Dial Up Connection?
Dial-up connection uses the telephone line to connect to the Internet. The computer uses the modem (often already on the computer) and connects the home phone line to it. A call will be made to the Internet service provider's modem, and the link will be made to enable access to the Internet. This was the first way to connect to the Internet.
