I need to configure a dial up modem

The high speed internet connection here is fiddly. Usually it works fine but then there are days where it fails repeatedly. I have a dial up modem that I have configured to work for another service, but it is slow with lots of garbage on the base program. I want to find out how to get Firefox to use the modem by itself without having to use the other program to access the internet first.

Hi
If i read your reply properly you would like to have both dial in onto the modem module as well as remote access vpn usin vpn client.
If thats the case then you can configure both remote access vpn and normal dial in using the modem module.
In the second option you are going to connect the PSTN lines on the modem module its a Point to Point between your router and the remote user but established when theres is some requirement for the same.

How do I configure a dial up modem to connect to my ISP?

I'm new to Solaris. Just installed Solaris 10 on an AMD64 and I'm trying to configure an external (real) 56k modem to dial out. It works under Linux and I'm assuming it will work with Solaris too. I configured the serial port for dial out. Then what? I cannot find a simple explanation anywhere for how to configure the modem and dial out. Is there a dialer program hidden somewhere that I'm missing? Please help before I flee back to Windows. Thanks.

I have follow your instruction to connect to my ISP as it shows the following message:
Serial connection established.
using interface sppp0
connect: sppp0 <--> /dev/ttya
local IP address xxxxxxxx
remote IP address 1.1.1.1
But when I ping www.sun.com, it shows:
www.sun.com unknown.
I start Mozilla and it said www.sun.com not found etc...
What has gone wrong?
Do I have to configure some files such as:
/etc/resolv.conf
/etc/hosts
/etc/hostname ?
or any other steps that can help me to connect to the internet?
Thanks...

Need a dial up modem for G3 Beige Tower

I have an ethernet card for my G3 Beige Tower but I need a dial up modem so I can hook it up for my mom. Anyone know where I can get one? Milwaukee

The internal 56K Apple/GV modem card that was a Build-to-Order option for the beige G3s offers the convenience of no additional desktop clutter, no extra power supply to bother with, and nothing to turn ON/OFF. It plugs into the brown slot on the audio or A/V personality card. You can see one listed on this page, but the $99.77 price tag is absurd, in spite of its scarcity now. When I stopped buying them a few years ago, used ones could be purchased for about $35. The internal 56K modem card functioned identically as its external Global Village 56K counterpart. If you have the time to keep checking eBay, you may find an internal Apple/GV 56K card eventually show up for auction. Just be sure that it matches the photo shown on the page I linked. Some sellers (mistakenly or not) identify the software-based "Apple GeoPort" modem card as the 56K modem card - which it definitely isn't. For a reliable 56K external modem, the US Robotics 56K v.90/x2 (model 5689-03) was always my choice for the internet and downloads. The Global Village TelePort 56K v.90 external modems with attached modem cable are also a good choice for the beige G3s. These modems are discontinued, but you can find them showing up at eBay or thrift stores. The current US Robotics v.92 external modem (black color and marketed for PCs) can be used with your beige, but (as Jan wrote) you'll need to find a Mac modem cable (DB-25 to mini-DIN8) for it. Additionally, a custom INIT string must be used to disable a couple of unsupported v.92 features, in order for it to function properly. After much trial and error, I arrived at one that did the trick.

File sharing with Leopard through dial up modem on Performa 6400

There are some really important files that i need to get off my Macintosh Performa 6400 (running 8.6) but the only connection that my iMac G5 (running 10.5.4) and the performa share is the dial up modem. I can't get an internet connection on the performa since we have broadband and it does not have an ethernet port, so that's out of the question. Some of the files are too big to fit on a floppy and my iMac doesn't have a floppy drive anyways.
I turned on file sharing on both computers, but they don't see each other being as they're connected through the dial up modems. After having searched up and down Google with no answer, my question is: is there anyway i can file share through the dial up modem using the aforementioned configuration?
Since I'll only need to do this once, I don't want to have go out and buy something in order to get this to work.
Thank you for any and all help you guys may provide.

I realise that you didn't, originally, intend to spend anything but, if you have a spare PCI slot left in your 6400. I wonder if maybe installing a Keyspan USB PCI card would help. That way the 6400 could communicate direct with the G5 and save the hassle of removing its HD.
http://www.allmacshop.co.uk/proddetail/19184/KeyspanUSB_PCI_Card_2-Port_Mac_Win__UPCI-2/
The manufacturer's part number is UPCI-2.
I installed one of these in my PowerMac 6500/300. Turned to be one of my better decisions as I was then able then to import photos direct from my digital camera and all sorts.
Or there's this which is better still-
http://www.macheaven.co.uk/?page=proddetail&prod=1343
Check compatibility with your 6400 though as I don't have one of these so I don't know if it works or not. Don't see why it shouldn't though.

ATA Dial-Up Modem

I would like to use my ATA 186/188 to operate with a dial-up modem. I understand that this configuration is not supported, but some users have gotten it to work using fax configuration's on their 186. I have the following configuration on my 186 and it does not connect:
AudioMode: 0x00150015
ConnectMode: 0x90000400
LBRCodec: 1
Does anyone have a known configuration that would work for this use? Maybe I need to add a command to my router? Thanks in advance.

This doc should help you. We followed this doc and we are able to use the ATA's as modems. Mind you that it certainly isn't the greatest of speeds.

Steps to Configure Speed Dial

Hello,
Need steps to configure speed dial.
Thanks
Abhishek

Hello,
Go to the phone / UDP configuration page and check the Phone Button Template and check whether you have enough lines available to configure as speed dials. If not create a new Phone button template with sufficient speed dial lines and assosiate the newlt created Phone Button Template to your phone / UDP configuration page. Clikc the link Add/Update Speed Dials on the same page and update the speed dial with the requested entries with the Label asthe Speed dial Label and the Number as the number where the speed dial shld reach.
The UDP profiles has to log out and login back for the changes to take effect.
Hope this helps..
Please let me know whether this was infromative or not.
Thanks

Help Needed Creating AppleScript for Dial Up Access and Updates

Hello,
Due to my location I can only access the internet via Dial Up. I would like to create a script that wakes up my Mini early in the AM, dials my ISP and checks to see if there are any Apple Updates. I'd like to do this at night so my family doesn't have to compete with updates when they are using the computer.
I've done the Apple Scripting tutorials and have a feel how to do the basics. But I cannot find any information on how to access the USB Modem (US Robotics), get it to dial, access the "Check for Updates" page, download, install and then disconnect.
Can anyone point me to a functional script that will do this or tell me where I can find the modem related scripting commands?
Thanks

1). Does your script both get and install updates if they exist ? If not what should be added to accomplish that?
If you use man softwareupdate to look at the command line options for softwareupdate you'll find:
-i | --install
Each update specified by args is downloaded and unarchived,
and also installed. The install flag requires root. args
can be one of the following:
item ... One or more update names.
-a | --all All appropriate updates.
-r | --req All required updates.
So '-i' tells softwareupdate to install the updates, and '-a' tells it to install all available updates, as opposed to a specific update, or 'required' ones.
2). Can you suggest an addition to the script that will disconnect the dial up modem and then shut down our Mac Mini?
That's going to be harder because, as written, the script performs the softwareupdate in the background. It does that so that you don't run into timeout issues (by default AppleScript will timeout after a certain period, canceling the script in progress). Since it's not clear how long the updates will take to download and install it isn't possible to predict what the appropriate timeout should be.
The easiest way to disconnect would be to just configure the dialup connection to disconnect after a certain period of idleness (System Preferences -> Network -> Modem -> Advanced -> PPP -> Options or some such). If that doesn't suffice let me know and I'll craft up a revised script.

Does my Airport Express need to be hardwired to my modem?

My Imac and modem are in my basement. I have an airport express in my garage so i can play music through Airplay. Does the airport express need to be connected to my modem with an ethernet cable, or can it just connect to my wifi network to enable Airplay?

See this article, AirPort Utility 6.x: Set up a bridge or AirPort Express: How to join an existing Wi-Fi network in client mode , about configuring the AEX. Be sure to have your Airport enabled on the computer.
I'm not sure how easy this will be when using a non-Apple router.

Using a dial-up modem

I guess I'm posting this out of sheer desperation, although it sounds like there isn't anything that can be done. I moved to the DC area last November and before signing an 18-month lease, I contacted Verizon directly, and my building also contacted their local Verizon rep to ensure that I would have no problems using a dial-up modem connection. I was very upfront about what I needed the line for and was given every assurance that everything would be fine.
Unfortunately, my fax modem is prone to constant disconnects, and I've been told by Verizon tech support that they can't run copper to the premesis. I need the line to perform closed captioning for television. Closed captioning still uses antequated technology which involves the text of what's being said on the program to be transmitted from my home to the TV station via the phone lines. The modem regularly disconnects at 32 and 37 past the hour -- that's almost guaranteed -- as well as other times.
So long story short, Verizon tells me everything is fine until I sign a lease and sign up for service and tech support basically tells me there's nothing that can be done. It's my livlihood that's on the line and there's nothing I can do about it. If by some miracle someone knows of something I can do to make a data transmission connection stable on fiberoptic lines, I'd be very grateful. I've tried just about every fix I possibly can.
Thanks.

Some people find by changing the error correction settings or speed on the modems, you can improve the reliability of a modem over FiOS voice. Realistically it shouldn't be causing a problem. Have you tried tinkering with the modem's settings if at all possible?

Using E52 as a dial-up modem to connect to other a...

Gidday, I use to have a nokia 6300 and was able to use it as an anolouge modem to dial other modems using the default string AT&F. I now have an E52, the modem initialises ok but comes up with modem error when starting to dial. I have the factory modem strings from both phones. Does anyone know how to change the strings?. Or what strings should I use to initialise my phone modem. Thanks

Can't create a dial up modem connection

hi...
need help here.
i have lenovo 3000 notebook V200 series with build in conexant modem, i have installed the modem driver correctly, i have query the modem and it shows the result successfully. but why does vista doesn't detect the modem when i'm trying to create a dial up modem connection ?. i also use the wireless 3G modem provided by AT&T. can anyone help me ? thank you...
sincerely
arifin

what do you mean? you can't create dial connection or you dont heard dial tone when you try to connect? Did you see under hardware devices. Does it show moderm at all? Try to hook up phone line to it and listen to dial tone? if It does. It would work fine. or you can upgrade moderm driver to see if you can create connection again.
Good luck to you

Dial-up Modem w/Digital Voice

Can a dial-up modem be used with FiOS Digital Voice? I support a number of remove locations across the country that only have dial-up access (via pcAnywhere). Thanks.

I wish that someone in the engineering department would come up with a hi capacity battery solution that would make the 8 hour battery last longer to maybe up to a week, because that's when power outages do happen unless it was a major disaster such as tornado, hurricane. I am very disappointed that FiOS cannot come out with a 4G/FiOS router device that can switch between the 2 services when the power is out. When I get my USB dial up modem I cannot wait to try it out with another ISP just to make sure I am ready when the power is out during next year's summer weather and these strange storms such as Sandy.
Using the USB dial up @56k modem via digital voice will only last 8 hours which I am going only going to use it for about 3 hours to get get the information I need. But like I said We need a 4G/FiOS wireless router that switches automatically to 2G/3G/4G/ when the power is out and the router runs on a battery as well and when the power comes back on then it comes back to FiOS. And we should be able to get a discount and have it part of the bundle.

Are there any webcams that work on a dial-up modem with OSX Tiger?

I've seen some discussions about specific webcams, but my problem is I'm on a dialup modem, without broadband. Though webcams exist that will work adequately for me with OS 9.x, there does not appear to be anything anywhere in the market that will work for with Tiger. The closest are the Logitech cams that stop at 10.2. Anybody have any suggestions?
Powermac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4) dial-up modem. not broadband available (I'm in the sticks)

Firewire cameras are natively supported in OSX.
Many USB cameras are supported using 3rd party
driver
such as <a</div>
href="http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/"
target="_blank">maccam.
You can also get drivers from ioxperts
Tim,
Thanks for the quick response. However I was not
asking about digital cameras, I was asking about
webcams. Am I missing something?
Yes you are missing something. I was talking about
firewire webcams doh!
http://www.macworld.com/2003/12/reviews/firewirewebcam
s/
I've been following detailed threads on specific
webcams, and have not seen anyone have success for my
situation.
What do you need a webcam for?
Tim,
Thanks again. I'm learning a lo already by following your suggestions. I have no high-power needs, just basic video chattiing, but I'm in the sticks out here, on a 56K dial-up modem. Can't even get broadband. Many of the cams I've seen require high-speed internet. I can continue searching.
I will mark this question as answered by you, but if you have any particiular cameras to suggest, I will appreciate your inputs. I had already looked at Macworld without success.

Can't connect to internet via dial up modem

I recently purchased a Mac Book Pro computer and while I can readily connect to the internet via my workplace Ethernet based LAN, I am having problems connecting to my ISP via the USB dial-up modem that I purchased with the system. The problem it seems is that my ISP (Bluelight internet @ www.mybluelight .com) doesn’t support the OS-X operating system and when I try to connect from the Windows XP side, the system doesn’t recognize the modem because there is no Windows driver for it. So it appears that I have 3 options available: 1) obtain a Windows compatible driver for the MAC modem (easiest): 2) buy a new modem that is both windows and OS-X compatible; or 3) change my ISP to one that supports OS-X. As I see things, the easiest way around this problem would be to get a windows compatible driver for the modem so that I can access the web from the XP side. Is there a Windows XP compatible driver available for the MAC USB port modem? If not does anybody have any other suggestions? Thank You

Try using a different USB port. Several people are having problems with the single port on the right.
I would not expect a compatability issue with your ISP. After all you only need a telephone number and usrid/password and the prtocols are standard.

Firefox 5.0; how do I get it to connect to Internet via dial-up modem?

Firefox 5.0 does not trigger dial up modem access when the program starts. I cannot find any way to get on line except to open another program such as IE that does the dial up, then switch to Firefox. I can find nowhere in tools to tell it to access dial up internet connection.

Your original had tabs on top, the current one does not. Also I note a dark background, is that some none default theme or persona, or a side effect of system display changes ?
I have noted others comment about pages needing zooming, no idea why that happens on some sytems, possibly something to do with the font changes.
I do not notice much difference between versions screenshot attached Firefox 4 and Firefox 6.0a2 open adjacent to each other.
