the problem. This site was taken over several months ago by another organization. Have you not wondered where all the regulars went? Great new MT site...

Sat connection
Satellite is more expensive than DSL or cable and not very reliable, as already mentioned.
The small hospital I work for used to have one home-based girl on satellite until DSL was finally offered in her area. It was horrible! She had to wait for the characters to catch up to her in Meditech.
Voice files using the Fusion player came over great though.
Need connection help
I am hoping someone can help. I am trying to connect to a server (new job) and the MTSO I'm working for is away for the evenig. She told me to connect by REMOTE DESKTOP to log into their server. I have no idea how to do this. Boy, do I feel dumb.
TIA.
VPN Connection
When I am working if I get a call I lose my VPN connection. After several minutes I can reconnect and pick up where I let off, most of the time. Sometimes I have to save my work and completely reboot in order to conneect. Does this happen to any one else. So annoying and time consuming. 
USB connection
Sorry to be a computer dunce...and I have looked so many times on my computer, but cannot find...I need to know if most computers have more than one USB connection. I already have my foot pedal plugged into the one I could find, and would like to purchase the Sound Blaster External 24-bit Sound as recommended on this site to get better quality sound, but for the life of me, I cannot find another USB connection. Please help if you can. Thank you.
Wal-Mart connection
My nephew has had it for 2 yrs and seems pretty happy with it, even after leaving AOL & MSN, so it seems to be decent.
No difference in them other than connection.
Some companies require a 9-pin or 15-pin, but you can get adapters to convert to USB if that is what you have.
Try Transcription Connection, Inc. sm
Located in Lynchburg, OH. Smaller company, but they have a good variety of work. Pay was a little low for me (8 cpl), but they do pay on time always every other Friday, direct deposit.
Internet connection
Does anybody use ATT/SBC DSL? If so, how is it?
I have Insight (cable), and I have a problem with no internet connections at least once every 2 weeks and thinking about switching.
Thanks!
internet connection
I have Insight, too, and I'm having a terrible time keeping connected. They have somehow, with their high-tech capabilities, discovered that I use a VPN, and now they are locking me up every document or at least every othe document! The only solution is that I'm going to have to pay business rate as opposed to consumer rate. I don't own a business, just work for an online company out of my home, but Insight doesn't care. They consider it "my" business and now I'm going to have to pay a whole lot more to keep them from locking me up.
Internet connection
Ive been using ATT/SBC DSL for a long time, long before they were bought out by AT&T and were just SBC. I love it! Wouldn't have it any other way. I RARELY have any trouble with it.
Wireless connection
Excuse if this posts twice----- I have two computers but only want my work PC wireless. Can this be done? Thanks.
how about your spiritual connection?

Remote PC connection
One of my clients allows me to remotely access their computer to obtain patient lists and transfer files. I have high-speed cable, but there is some delay when I use Word on their computer. I imagine other programs would be a bit slower as well.
If you have Windows XP Professional, you can give this a try yourself by setting up a Remote Desktop Connection. A Google search for this will give you step-by-step instructions.
Yes, the net connection comes right up. Get the KVM that allows audio, too, though, so you don't

Internet Connection
My daughter and I have laptops as well and we both have cards which make them wireless. The card is not from a cell phone company it is a wireless network card that picks up a signal from a router in our home which is connected to antoher PC connected to cable/Internet connection. I believe you can get a wireless card for your laptop and then a cable which allows you to use your cell phone, though I have no idea what it costs. I have known others who have done it this way. Good luck.
Wireless connection
All the cell phone companies have mobile wireless service. You buy their PC card and sign up for their service. The service is about $50 or $60 a month where I live and you have to sign a contract for a year and only one computer can use it at a time because you have to move the card from PC to PC.
Their are also wireless networks that can run through a home PC and be routed to an unlimited number of computers in the home. This is usually through a cable company or land line phone company but you send you can't get high-speed internet where you live so that's probably not an option.
I have wireless connection
at home, so I don't think it would be a problem
Sometimes the connection to the phone is

Agree with you there.. I really don't get the connection
between AAMT and a bounty hunter as motivational speaker. You'd think that they'd come up with someone better, but I believe he lives in Hawaii so maybe it was the best deal they could get (i.e. cheapest), maybe?
Wireless connection
I have a USB wireless card through Sprint that I can use on either my laptop or desktop. Had some remote computer repairs done earlier and the tech was amazed by my connection speed, but I am only about a mile to a mile and a half from an enhanced cell tower, so distance from a cell tower will also makes a difference. Verizon also offers a similar card so you might want to check into something like that.
Hope this was helpful.
Dont see connection between this and MT.

Internet connection?
What does that have to do with anything?
Then what is her connection to the Spheris ad?
x
She has NO connection to Spheris...
she was just simply stating to Kippers that the Spheris site we've all seen may have been made by a disgruntled employee, etc. She is familiar with technology these days and how those things can happen... that is all.
when I get that message, my Internet connection is usually gone sm
I have to unplug my modem and reconnect to the Internet, but I am cable connect. Don't know if this is your problem, but has always been mine! Hope this helps
Not sure, but I'm guessing the unreliability of the connection too.
I have satellite TV, only because cable hasn't been stretched this far yet..:0 - I'll sure be going back to cable if it ever gets here..
I have a phone line though, so that means DSL is available for my internet, although I guess not even everybody can get that either.
losing internet connection off and on
Losing internet connection happened quite a bit for me. I kept calling Comcast, they said to reboot. I had a computer tech out to look at the computer and they deleted a bunch of junk and it ended up my cable modem was bad. It was 3 years old. I got a new one and it works great now.
Unplug their internet connection nm

TransHealth has rad accounts with VPN connection. nm
Wireless internet connection was being
advertised on T.V. last night. It showed a man using his lap top in a room saying that he was connected to the internet wirelessly. This sounds like the way to go for me who needs a vacation but can't afford to take one. Has anyone investigated this?
Cable connection question?
I am soon moving to an area where cable is available. A friend has advised that I have a backup phone line internet connection. Any advice?
Thanks for any/all help!
How do you speeding up a dial up connection?
This is for all of us poor MTs that are still stuck with dial up as our only option. Satelite is just too darn expensive for what we get paid and moving is even more expensive. So....are there any tips or tricks to making our dial up connections any faster so we can download those dictation files faster and not time out anymore?
Please do not mention an accelerator. I have that and it is only good for a webpage pop up faster and for opening email. It has nothing to do with dictation files.
Is there something that were can do as far as the kind of phone cord we use, the length of it, or something like that?
What about our modems? Is there something we can do to our modems to jack up our speeds?
And whats with software like Escription advertising on their website that dial up will work when it does not. That info has to be to the dictators who have dial up and not to the MTs with dial up.
There has to be hope for us becaue after 10 years of MT work I will be darned if I give up being home with my kids just because of my internet connection speed!!!!
Thanks letting me vent
Very frustated dial up MT
VOIP and internet connection - sm
I have VOIP with my cable provider, Roadrunner, and I can use my Lanier at the same time as I am on the Internet, no problems. In my area, this is much cheaper than unlimited long distance phone service with my land line provider (which I kept, by the way, as you have NO phone if your cable goes out). I have not had any problems at all. Hope this helps.
Question on internet connection....
I have a question that I'm sure someone knows the answer to. My son was telling me that a friend of his has a laptop and she has a card she puts in it and can then connect to the internet wirelessly. Where we are located there is no high-speed yet, so I am wondering if this is through cell phone or something like that. He thought it was like a Cingular card or something (which is a cell phone company). Does anyone know how this works as far as cost, etc? I have a cell phone through Cingular and am wondering if you use something like this does it take minutes off your plan? I guess I'm sort of dumb about all of this. Thanks for any help you can give.
Satellite internet connection
I can't get DSL/fast access internet where I live and am thinking about getting a satellite connection, but it's a huge investment. If anyone has it or has had it in the past, please let me know what you think and how it works for you. Thanks a bunch!
what type internet connection do you have?
Per thier site...
CryptoHeaven performance is slow.
CryptoHeaven is designed to work on high-speed and broadband Internet connections. Dial-up users can use CryptoHeaven but are advised the response time is slower. Dial-up users should keep file transfers small.
What can cause computer to lose internet connection off and on.
:
OK, for laptop users...connection question...
As per the discussion below about laptops. How many of you have wireless internet and how reliable and fast is it? If I were to go up to our mountain (foothills) lake lot and try to transcribe, I fear the mountains would cut out the signal.
Even those of you that transcribe on the deck, if you don't have wireless, don't you have to string a high-speed cable out there or a phone line if you use the phone? Oh, of course I am assuming that some of you work for nationals and need a phone or cable connection. I suppose some of you work off of tapes or such.
Thanks.
Laptop w/ Cingular wireless connection
Hi,
I just bought my first laptop since we are getting ready to move across the USA. I researched into using a PC card that connects to cingular wireless (Or verizon) so that I can connect to internet, E-mail, etc. Kind of like a cell phone.
I was wondering if anyone has used this and how well it works in real life?
Thanks for your time.

Yes, only one day - my internet connection was too slow for program. nm

I think you need to network the puters, not make a connection. Anyone know what

i have wildblue and connection is very reliable to me with no trees, but sm
especially if you will be going through VPN, it won't be very productive for you cuz the VPN slows down the download rates. i am connected at 100 mbps but that is nothing. download rates are extremely slow, sometimes as slow as dial up.
trying to chose a laptop, please, re connection and speed
what please is the difference in ability to connect between:
802.11 a/g/n (cannot remember if it was wireless)
802.11 a/b/g wireless
802.11 b/g wireless
..................
Re speed, I saw somewhere the a/g/n is 5 times faster, true? or is the speed in the gHz or in the hard drive rpm...????
I would really really appreciate some input, and thanks.
ChartScript through SoftMed....anyone able to use this with a satelle connection?
I asked this on another board and didn't get a lot of responses so I thought I would try it here. Does ANYONE use ChartScript with a satellite connection?? How is the speed? There is no VPN involved. TIA!!
Foot pedal connection problem
Anybody have any ideas how to get my brand new USB foot pedal working that needs to be compatible with Voice Systems? It's not even showing up as being connected, and I know it's plugged into a working port! Need this ASAP...or like yesterday! LOL. Can't seem to find anyone who can help. What's this post about a foot pedal wizard? How do I find that? 
Foot Pedal Connection Problem
Thanks so much to everyone who took the time to make suggestions. I tried going into Express Scribe, but got a message saying "This Site Is Under Construction". As far as rebooting, I've had the foot pedal installed now for about 2 weeks, so yes, the PC has been rebooted numerous times, and I've tried every USB port on the PC, and I know for sure they're all working ports. I went to Control Panel and checked under Game Controls, and it's not there, either. I've tried 2 different links on Voice Systems' web site to contact them for help via e-mail, and both of those links came back as "mailer daemon", stating that there were "fatal errors". I don't know where to turn for help anymore! I can't work...obviously...if I can't get the pedal working!
I'm using a fixed wireless broadband connection
And so far, so good. The tower is just across the cow field, though. I haven't had any cutting in and out and I feel like a kid with a new toy since I'm able to watch You Tube, etc. now. My provider (SEIdata) came and did a site survey before installing it first and told me I had an excellent signal. They put a small box on my roof and ran cable to my office. I plug into an Ethernet modem and I can WIFI it with a router if I want to, too.
I've heard mixed reviews on the "cards," but I would recommend fixed wireless if you have a provider that does a site survey and installation.
I've been told most errors are connection sm
related and media player related. This is for Windows XP. Remove all media players except the Windows media player. Wordclient conflicts with other media players. Also remove any of those browser toolbars like Yahoo. Go into your Control Panel Add or Remove Programs to find them and remove them through the control panel. Then, go to start-run-msconfig and click on the tab marked startup. Uncheck all the boxes except for your virus protection and click okay then restart. I had to do that to get rid of the errors and now I go in once a week to make sure the settings stay. I seldom have a problem now, maybe once or twice a week, not 10 times a day like I did before.
the bush-saudi long-time connection....sm
conspiracy theories or not - all this gives food for thought for those still living with a functioning brain. Also, there are literally thousands of these articles online for those who are interested.

that would be lickity. The slow connection must have erased a few letters. LOL (nm)

The Transnet pedal I have has a phone line connection on the end, sm
which plugs into a Dictaphone adapter which plugs into a USB port on my computer. To my knowledge, it cannot be used for anything else, but I could be wrong.
Good luck!
