Dial-up is no more secure than high speed.
The one slight advantage that gets confused as more secure is the fact
that dial-up users are online for a limited time a day while high
speed is always connected.
Since it only takes seconds, that is no protection at all.
there are options to order SP-1 on CD as well as download on another
computer with high speed access and use on your computer, see #1 on
