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.

Need a Modem for my G4

Hello,
I just received a used G4 Power Mac Audio Digital version by way that the headphones and mic ports are arrainged, which tells me which version. The telephone line jack cube was turned to its blank side, and I turned it around to connect a regular phone line. When after I installed the America On Line software, the software could not find a modem. I don't think there is one in the computer. So I need to get a modem for it. Any Ideas on this?
Thanks

Welcome To  Discussions Patrick!
I think that all four models of the Power Mac G4 DA, came with a standard 56k v.90 internal modem.
It just may be, that the Modem/Network settings for AOL Dial-Up, in System Preferences are incorrect.
The configuration works for me on my iMac G3. You may need to make some adjustments for your particular Mac and Modem models.

Script for internet connect with dial up modem, check email & log off

I am looking for a script to connect to the internet (with dial up) external apple modem, then check email and then log off and disconnect. I don't want any other applications opening internet connect? A would use this script file with ical and could have my email checked and open up in the morning before I leave for work....being that we have dial up the entire process of connecting to the internet and checking email is time consuming. Any help is greatly appreciated. thks

You need some additional logic in there - as written, the script will launch mail, then immediately disconnect the internet connection.
At the very least you need to add a delay before disconnecting to allow for Mail to download awaiting messages.
Since you cannot predict how long a delay you'll need, a better approach would be to query Mail.app and wait until it's idle, like:
tell application "Mail"
  launch -- doesn't need to be frontmost
  check for new mail -- get all mail
  repeat until (get background activity count) = 0
    delay 2 -- wait 2 seconds before checking again
  end repeat
end tell
In this way the script forces a check of new mail (don't assume that Mail.app is set to auto-check, especially for dialup users who often compose mail offline and may have automatic checking disabled), and it hangs around until Mail.app has finished downloading all the messages.

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.

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.

Note carefully please that this feature requires your service plan to include the capability...not all service plan levels include it, and not all carriers offer it. Further, sometimes additional software for your computer must be obtained from the carrier. But, any and all carrier-specific questions about this must be addressed to the carrier...here, we can only give you the generic information...your carrier must provide you with any specific information required.

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.

Dial Aiport Modem with PC

Sorry if this is something that is already here, but have read through the forum a couple of times and not found a duplicate post. I have a Airport (snow) that I use for internet access with DSL. I have a powerbook and pc xp sp2 that are connected wirelessly through it for internet access with no problems. I want to be able to utilize the airport internal modem for a program on my pc. I utilize pcanywhere to link with my desktop at the office and would like to be able to use the modem in the Airport to connect so that I can be wireless in the house using pcanywhere. Because of security issues I do not want to use internet to connect with this other computer and connection over a phone line is entirely adequate for my needs. I want to be able to dial the internal modem of the airport with my pc laptop. I would think this should be possible, but can't find the information on how to set it up.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

@Lanny, you are correct; the maximum speed of 768k was cited by a support tech and may refer to the phone line's native capacity due to distance. I have decided to downgrade to the lowest DSL option available to me (1.5 Mbps instead of 3.0 Mbps) and retain the capability of having simultaneous phone and internet access, which is not available with dial-up. My maximum download speed at my current location hovers around 600K.
The source of the difficulty, I suspect, is that the phone company is converting to optical fibers from copper fibers and is pushing their own "blazingly fast" internet product based on fiber optics, rather than DSL with its expensive paired copper lines. I don't know if the phone company has an additional a means of limiting transmission speeds to thwart their competition, although if I can conceive of this possibility, someone else smarter than me had probably figured out a way to accomplish this 5-10 years ago. My ISP is gradually building their own fiber optic network to gain independence from the dominant telephone line owner.
Thanks for your reply. It confirmed my intuition to stick with DSL but at the lowest available speed option.

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).

Dial-up connection for Qosmio F60/05E Notebook

I need dial-up connection.
What external modem will work with Qosmio F60/05E laptop running Windows7?
Thereis no socket for phone cable, no dial-up modem built inside this Toshiba laptop.

Visit your local dealer and buy newest external dial-up modem compatible with Win7 64bit.
I presume all of them should work properly. Just be sure they are supported for 32/64bit operating systems.
