Dial up usb modem for mavericks?

Mavericks clearly indicates that it works with dial up but I have been unable to find a modem that does not stop loading pages after a minute or two.  The US Robotics 5637 modem that I was using for 10.6,7 and 8 will log on to the server and start downloading pages but then stops.  It does not drop the connection, the pages just stop loading.  A few pages it will load but something like Facebook is impossible.  I monitor the connections via Little Snitch.  I have a MBP that I was using and a Mini that I just purchased.  After upgrading to 10.9.3 the MBP will not finish loading pages on dial up and the Mini, a clean install, will not either.  I have done all the upgrades recommended bu US Robotics.  US Robotics says the modem works with Mavericks.  Apple support has been no help and declines to tell me what modems might actually work, refers me back to US Robotics and tells me to search the forums. I have followed all their troubleshooting and installation recommendations. Personally, I think it is OS 10.9 and not the modem but what do I know.  Apple is not interested in solving the problem even though I am within the 90 day support window.  I am outside of the US now and have no alternative to dial up internet access.  Can anyone help me?  Right now I am using a 10 years old Dell Latitude to access the internet and have no problems.  After spending close to $2,000 on the Mini and peripherals I'd like to be able to use it.  I'm pretty disgusted with Apple not being helpful on this.  They have offered no alternatives other than to find someone other than them to figure it out.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

    I finally got the message below from USR. I followed their instructions & it worked!!
    Thank you for choosing USRobotics.
    Your case number for this issue is: 301667052
    Your initial email was replied to on November 13, 2013. Below the reply we provided you to configure the modem:
    After reading your e-mail I understand that you would like to know if the modem is in fact compatible to Mac OSX 10.9 Maverick. Yes the USR5637 is compatible with Mac OSX 10.9.
    If you will use the modem for a dial up connection to the Internet follow these steps:
    1- In the System Preferences, open the Network.
    2- Once in the Network section, click on the USB Modem and click on Advanced.
    3- Make sure that under Vendor and Model the USR5637 is correctly selected.
    4- In the PPP tab make sure the Use Verbose login check box is checked.
    5- Fill the Username, Password and Phone number with your ISP information and click on Connect.
    If you will use the modem for faxing follow the steps below:
    1- In the System Preferences, open the Printer & Scanner or Printer & Faxes depending of your Mas OSX version.
    2- Once in the Printer & Scanner or Printer & Faxes, if the devices shows up as an external modem you need to remove it. If the device is not listed skip to step 3.
    3- Click on the add button and on the window that comes up, click on the fax tab at the top of the window, you should see a USB modem listed.
    3- Complete the on screen steps to Add a USB modem.
    I hope this helps.
    Again, thank you for choosing USRobotics.

  • Using cell phone as a 3G USB modem for Leopard

    Hi All,
    I just get an MacBook Pro the last week, I was happy with the UI of the OS at first sight, but when come to the setting of the network, I am really frustrated.
    I get a SE P1i cell phone, I would like to use it as a usb modem for my MAC so that I can have 3G internet connection when on the road. But the problem is that, I can't connect it to my MAC at all!
    Leopard can regonize my phone but it seems that none of the modem script(including the SONY ERICSSON script pre-installed) work for my phone. when I checked in the activity log, I see that the result of running every modem scripts are
    "CCLExit: -6019 (Modem error, modem not responding.)"
    I guess it should not be the problem of my phone as I try using SE K800i, the same result...
    although I know that I can use the bluetooth rather the USB cable to connect them together, I would prefer USB cable as it is faster and more secure.
    anyway, any help would be appreciated.

    (generally I understand one does the same as with a bluetooth phone, but plugs in the usb cable and skips the bluetooth part)

  • Finding a dial-up FAX modem for iMac Intel Core Duo

    I know that Apple has its own modem with USB dongle, but I've also heard that this modem may have some peculiar problems.
    How can I find (conveniently) other V.90 or V.92 FAX modems which are supported on the iMac and in OS 10.4.7 Tiger?
    Anyone have any comments -- positive or negative -- about any modems -- Apple, US Robotics, Global Village, other?
    Thanks
    Jerry
    P.S. I primarily want the modem to be able to send and receive FAXes with the iMac.

    Hello,
    I have always preferred US Robotics modems. But, you are going to find your options a bit limited these days.
    The problem is that most manufacturers are no-longer producing drivers for the newer Mac OS versions. So, you would need to locate a modem who's driver is already integrated / built-into OS X.
    Fortunately, the drivers are provided for a large number of modems out there. But, you won't necessarily get any support from their manufacturer since the drivers in OS X are provided by Apple.
    That said, I would personally go with either a US Robotics modem (since that would be a very established standard and the drivers are supplied by Apple in OS X).
    But, if you are not comfortable purchasing a modem that does not come with Apple drivers in the box for OS X 10.4.7, then you really should just buy the modem from Apple so that you know it is supported by the current version of OS X.
    I hope this helps.
    Let us know if you have other questions.

  • Dial-up external modem for G5

    i've got a brand new G5 2.5 Quad, sitting un-opened while i wait for the back-ordered modem (Apple MAO34Z/A) that I've been told is the only way I can get the G5 online via dial-up connection.
    Is there any other way to do it? like maybe connect the G5 to my G4 and use the G4's internal (dial-up) modem?
    Thanks.

  • I have acquired a new modem usb modem for my computer which gets me on the internet fine but when I try to load a weg page in Mozilla it tries but always comes up with the error that the connection has timed out. Any Ideas? Thanks

    It seems the browser will not let me connect even though the internet is accessed.

    Carmell-
    When I've had a similar problem, it was because I was accessing the iTunes store from a device I hadn't used before, such as when I upgraded from an iPad 1 to the iPad 2.  It was a little confusing to me until I figured it out.
    All I had to do was use the ID of my existing account and play along with the iTunes store.  As I recall, it asked for my password twice, and the security code from the back of my credit card.  After that, downloads proceeded as before.

  • USB wireless Modems for MAC

    Hi Apple users,
    Could an one tell me which USB wireless internet Modems support MAC OS X leopard 10.5.6 macbooks? Could you also tell me which one is the best and efficient USB modem for the MAC books? You help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Regards,
    Naresh

    You'll need to clarify what you're looking for. Do you need an actual phone-line modem? There are boxes you can connect to wirelessly and then dial out, but they're not as popular as they used to be. Likewise, are you looking for a phone line modem for the MacBook? Apple has one they officially support -- I think it's actually made by US Robotics.
    What do you mean by "efficient"? Lowest power consumption? Best speed? Least heat?
    If you're looking for what the cable and DSL providers call a "modem", nobody can recommend one until they know what you plan to connect it to. Most of them are actually routers or bridges, and not real modems (modulator-demodulator).

  • Apple USB modem stopped recognising dial tone

    Running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) on a 2007 iMac. Have been using an Apple USB modem for the last several years, and as recently as last week successfully sent out a fax, but suddenly today it does not detect the dial tone (although I can hear it), and hangs up after just 2 seconds. It detects and receives incoming faxes. Is there any way to dig into the preferences to set a longer wait? The system preferences panel for print/fax shows no option for 'wait for dialtone'. Or do I need to reinstall the driver? And if so, where can I download the driver?

    I have exactly the same problem with my Apple external USB modem right down to it showing up in the Profiler. It complains if I unplug it while it's supposedly faxing something. It worked until April 30th, but it hasn't worked since then. However, I don't recall installing any new drivers that would have caused this problem. Even stranger, the modem still works with my old PowerBook G4 which is also running OS X 10.5.7.

  • Apple USB modem question

    Hi all
    I passed along my old G4 500 computer to my niece and bought an apple USB modem for her as well since all they can get is dial-up at the moment. She is getting very poor speeds..18kbps..consistently though..They also have a PC in their house and get 35-45 consistently..both 56k dial-up modems..
    Is there anything that could be holding the apple modem back..every little bit helps when you are that slow:)
    thanks

    Hello Loni:
    As I understand it, the new USB modem that was released with the newest iMac G5 is there because the newest iMac does not have an integral internal modem. All Macs up to that point do have a built-in modem (I have a first generation G5 with a built in modem).
    If my answer missed the point, let me know.

  • Apple USB Modem + External Subwoofer = Bad Interference?

    Does anyone know the inards of an Apple USB modem well? i just installed my 22"LG monitor and now i cant get on the net through the USB Modem cuz it interferes with the subwoofer. it would dial then go crazy and make my computer freeze. then i decided to unplug my subwoofer and everythings worked fine. any ideas?

    That is strange, are they very close to each other? The subwoofer may have a strong magnet inside it, keep the modem away from it. I use an external subwoofer on the floor, my MacBook is on a stand on a desk with the modem hanging off the back of the desk. I also use an external monitor. I had used dial-up for a short while before I got cable, and still use the USB modem for occasional faxing, so you should be able to use all those things simultaneously: USB modem, external speakers, external monitor, if you are having problems, you might need to take it to an Apple store and see if you can replicate the problem, if they can fix it (under warranty?). Maybe try using an externally powered USB hub for the modem?

  • Use of USB Modem

    My work as a network engr sometimes reequires me to dial in to systems to troubleshoot them. I purchased a USB Modem for our new IMAC the other day and am awaiting shipment. Does IMAC come with a program that will allow me to control and use this modem?

    Do you mean a simple terminal emulator? No, it doesn't come with. But there are a few free ones you can download, and a handful of commercial products. None of the ones I tried seem to be terribly stable. I use Macwise (commercial product), but it crashes and hangs periodically. I also use Quickterm, which is free, but also has issues.

  • 3g usb modem does not work on Lion?

         I have had a 3g usb modem for almost two years now, it worked fine on Snow Leopard but does not pick up any connection to any cell tower after my upgrade to Lion. Any suggestions?

    Thank you 'etresoft'. With minimal information from me you have provided a fix to the problem. Although, the cost at 49.5 euros per computer is a bit steep. I think I will just buy a later spec modem at $A79 and be able to use it on all my computers. Regards from iadoreapples

  • Apple USB Modem 56K

    Hello Friends
    Now 2 days ago the update of Snow Leopard 10.6.3 released, but once again WITHOUT a 64-bit drivers for the original Apple USB 56K Modem. Can anyone say whether there's what is planned? I have often professionally faxes by modem to send and receive.
    With the 32-bit mode of the 10.6.3 is the USB modem without any problems. But since I mainly use the 64 bit mode, which is effective, it would be nice here can also send faxes using the USB modem.
    Someone has a tip, whether it alternetaiven a driver (kext) for the USB modem for 64-bit there?
    Thanks Info for this.
    Fritz122

    Hi there, I jut bought an Apple USB modem on eBay bnib. It works intermittently with my Snow Leopard Server, Mac Mini. I just get the first inch of the received fax. This is painful as it is such a simple and normal solution for a small business sever.
    I spoke to AppleCare who were unaware on any issues. I sent the modem back for a replacement and have the same problem.
    What do I do? Buy a Zoom Model 3095 V.92 USB Mini External Modem, trail a wire across my studio to an HP Fax Printer.
    Come on Apple, please fix this.

  • Question about using a USB modem

    I'm about to get a new Macbook Pro (being shipped) and want to be prepared with a USB modem for travel/emergencies. I've read chatter about Snow Leopard presenting problems with it. Something about 64-bit v.s. 32-bit incompatibilities. Does anyone know if Apple has resolved this with support, even though they quit selling the modem? I understand it will work, but only if used with 32-bit or something.
    Thanks.

    I have no idea whether there is any reality to any of the rumours you may have heard, HalfATechie, but my own Apple USB Modem works fine on both my MBP 13" and my older 2007 MBP 15" , while running Snow Leopard in normal operating mode.
    Don't worry, this is something you really don't need to be "afraid" of with your MBP.
    Cheers
