Dialing-up environment

We recommend the user to use the highest possible speed Internet connection such as xDSL when using KNS. We made the connection tests for ISDN and analog modem. The results were basically good.
(We checked the operation with Internet connection services available in Japan.)

Service	ISP	Actual connection speed	Modem	Result	Remarks
ISDN 64 kbps	Nifty	64 kbps	NEC	Good	Delay time was a bit longer than xDSL.
Analog 56 kbps	Rimnet	50.0 kbps	Winmodem built in laptop computer	Good but troubled	Delay time was a bit longer than xDSL. Little noise was mixed to voice. Voice communication is available (*).
Analog 33.6 kbps	Rimnet	28.8 kbps	Winmodem built in laptop computer	Good but troubled	Delay time was a bit longer than xDSL. Many noises were mixed to voice. Voice communication is available (*).
PHS 32 kbps (Wireless Internet)	Rimnet	Unknown	Terminal: Kyushu Matsushita KX-HV200 Modem: Suntac 64k-PS2	NG	There were too much noise. Only command communication is available.

Conditions for checking operation:
The host PC (transmitting party) uses the Flet's ADSL 1.5 Mbps and BRL-04F router.
(*) We did not change a frequency while making a voice communication.

Note: "Good" means basically good, "Good but troubled" indicates little interrupts occurred, and "NG" indicates that voice communication is not available.
