Direct-dial access also differs from dial-up access through an ISP (Internet Service Provider, because when you dial and connect to the Internet this way, your (client) PC can access most any server host that has a public or Internet IP address. However, because of limitations of your modem (56Kbps maximum, this access is also slow.
