Dial-up pertains to a telephone connection in a system of many lines shared by many users. A dial-up connection is established and maintained for limited time duration. The alternative is a dedicated connection which is continuously in place. Dial-up lines are sometiems called switched lines and dedicated lines are called no switched lines. A dedicated line is often a leased line that is rented from a telephone company.
A Dial up Connection can be initiated manually or automatically by your computers modem or other device.
When you use PC dial-up (also called a terminal account), your computer runs a terminal emulation program to communicate with the service provider's host comuter, and you ask the host computer to go out onto the Internet do to what you want to be done. Most providers will send and receive E-mail, transfer files from a remote Internet computer to the host which you can then download to your local computer and provide access to USENET.
