US robotics external modem

Yes I have a US Robotics Courier V.Everything external modem I used to use with my PC and I was wondering if this modem would work with a Mac. It's serial so I was wondering if I could get a serial to usb converter. If anyone has used this modem with Mac could you please let me know I can't find any info online which makes me think this is not an option. The modem in my powerbook works fine it's just I get kicked offline and I am hopping the external will work alittle better.
Thank you,
Tony

It's not worth the effort. (Just my 2 cents).

  • Connect iPhone to external modem?

    Maritime and emergency workers need to access the web and email over a satellite connection when there is no cellular service available. Although this is a lot slower than a cellular connection, it is better than nothing.
    Can I set up the networking on an iPhone to access the internet via a PPP connection over an external modem? I would connect the external modem to the iPhone using either a USB connection (virtual serial port) or to a serial port on the iPhone if it has one.
    Does the iPhone have the ability to drive a network connection through an external modem?
    Thanks,

    neuruoanatomist,
    Thanks for the suggestion. Would it be possible to set up a PPP connection over Bluetooth in order to save some power?

  • When I print it always defaults to external modem

    The print & fax preference says default to the last printer used. Yet when I print from Pages, and Pages alone, it goes to external modem. Every single time I have to change it to my printer. Yes, at some point in the past I did print to the external modem from Pages but it has been a while. How can I get it to default to my printer? It never sticks. I have tried deleting the Pages preferences but it does not fix this.

    Yup, I'm having a similar problem. I have two printers: my default printer is set to "last printer used", but using Pages it ALWAYS goes to my Epson C1100. Even when I change the page setup to Format for my Docuprint printer, and then save, it reverts to being set up for the C1100 when I reopen it. I have to change the set up every single time I need to print a document on my Docuprint. It's making Pages unusable - I might have to go back to Word.
    And you're right - changing it on the templates doesn't work - because the next time I open a document, template or normal, the Format For setting has changed again.

  • Sond control for external modem when faxing

    Does anyone know of a way to turn off the sound when using an Apple external modem for faxing? Oddly, my sound output is set for USB speakers which are off. I have the system volume turned all the way down. Yet when sending or receiving a fax, the initial dial tone sings out loud and clear.
    Thanks in advance,
    Gary

    I believe the Pagesender string is the default to start at 14,400 baud and auto-negotiate down to 9600, 4800, etc until communication can be established. Hardware error correction is typically off being controlled only by the software.
    Fax machines will automatically negotiate to 9600 if they cannot establish a faster rate.
    Most VoIP services tell you that a special line is required for faxing, and that you cannot fax over the standard voice line. Cannot tell you more than this.
    The Apple modem uses standard Motorola modem commands. If you can find an old document for a typical Motorola modem then you will find the AT commands.

  • MacBook Pro crashes when connecting via external modem

    My new MacBook Pro crashes when I try to connect to the Internet via an external modem. Is it a SW or HW problem? In the latter case might it by the computer or the modem (original).

    MacBook Pro 1,1   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    This is Bob Simpson again from Paris. I followed the advice given in this forum and took out the set of HP printer drivers from the drivers pre-installled in my MacBook Pro and put them on my desktop. After that, the modem worked perfectly. If I want to use my HP Laserjet 1200 printer, I plug it into a USB port on the computer, the computer recognizes it and prints. If I want to use the modem again, I have to take that printer out of my list of printers in the print center. This is a bit of a pain in the neck, but it works. No one at any of the Apple distributers or Apple Care centers was able to figure all this out. Our forum did the job and we should get free awards from Apple, like the installation of the update on all our computers that will settle this problem. Otherwise, my BMacBook pro works like a dream. Many thanks to all of you and jackplug, you don't have to throw away your printer.

  • External modem for MacBook Pro

    We are going on vacation to a remote location - no wifi available. It was suggested that I purchase the Apple MA034Z/A external modem for a dial up connection. After reading user reports of this not working with Intel does anyone have any suggestions? I see that Apple no longer makes/sells this product but that it is available from other sources. I am very new to all this - any assistance is appreciated.

    It works fine.

  • 10.5.2 and Apple External Modem Dialup - computer freezes when dialing up

    Hi,
    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    Since upgrading to OS 10.5.2, the computer freezes (the cursor freezes) each time I try to dial up to internet. The only way to unlock computer is to shut the power button off and start over.
    I am using the Apple External Modem.
    Had no problems before (10.5.1, 10.5, Tiger, etc.). So far I seemingly have no problems with any other app. Only when I try to connect (dialup) to the internet.
    I did the usual repair and verify permissions before and after installation.
    I did a repair and verify Disc (from the Install Disc) after these problems.
    Both reported no problems.
    I also tried trashing Internet Connect prefs files in Home Library.
    I see a lot of posts and looks for Wireless connection problems.
    The only dialup solution I've read so far are people who went back to 10.5.1.

    Hi,
    Found this as a suggestion on how to fix the 10.5.2 internet dialup problem, but it is so vaguely written, I have no idea what the tipster is talking about.
    I assume the tipster means one types these commands in Terminal?
    If someone can explain the following in English, I would be grateful.
    I had problems sharing a dial-up (Modem) PPP connection. I want to use NAT for security reasons and found that only the first connection after reboot worked. Subsequent connects would fail due to NATD not rebinding the new PPP bindings. Restarting NATD fixed the problem. Luckily PPPD fires off some scripts in /etc/ppp depending on connection status. The following script restarts NATD after every successfull connect if you save it as /etc/ppp/ip-up (don't forget to make it executable):
    #!/bin/sh -
    N_P=`ps -uxc -U root | grep ' natd$' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
    if [ "$N_P" != "" ]; then
    logger -i -t $0 "Sending SIGHUP to natd (PID $N_P)"
    kill -HUP $N_P
    fi
    Yes, this meant to be run in the terminal.
    Really, the poster expected that these commands would be saved in a sh script and executed that way.
    Create a txt file and past those commands into it. It will need to be saved with execution permissions.
    What does it do?
    N_P=`ps -uxc -U root | grep ' natd$' | awk '{ print $2 }'`
    This asks the system for a list of running processes (ps -uxc) where the user is root (system admin) and passes this list to grep (which filters the list looking for a process with the string 'natd$'. This passes a single line out of the process list to awk which simply prints the second item in the list.
    The end result is that the procid (process id) for the natd process is stored in the variable N_P.
    Next -
    if [ "$N_P" != "" ]; then
    logger -i -t $0 "Sending SIGHUP to natd (PID $N_P)"
    kill -HUP $N_P
    fi
    This checks whether a natd process was found - $N_P not null string.
    If a process was found - the logger command writes and entry to the system log and then the script tries to kill the process gently (kill -HUP).
    This should clear the natd process which should restart if you try and dial again.
    The script is not really vague - just needs a comment or two to make it understandable to those who are not Unix geeks.

  • MacBook + Apple external  modem

    I was given a brand-new MacBook at work and a brand-new Apple USB modem to take home, where I only have dial-up.
    When I open Internet Connect, it comes up under the BlueTooth tab. I put in all the info and it won't even dial. I wish I had written down the error message (can't check it now) but basically it says it "can't open Internet Connect". Does this mean it's not recognizing the modem?
    I tried to "edit configurations" and noticed there are 4 versions of Apple external modems there, and I tried all 4 with no luck.
    Any ideas?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Connect the modem to the USB port. Open Network preferences and select External Modem then click on Configure button. Click on the TCP/IP tab and set the Configure IPv4 drop down menu to DHCP and click on Apply Now button. Then click on the PPP tab and fill in your ISP information, user ID, password and telephone number (these are for your dial up account.) Click on Apply Now button. Click on the Modem tab. Select the Apple External Modem V.92 from the drop down menu. Check the box labeled "Show Modem Status in Menu Bar." Click on the Apply Now button. You should be all set. Quit System Preferences. From the modem status menu bar item select Connect.

    My computer is part of the iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive replacement program. What is the best external modem to use in order to back up my files prior to me dropping off my computer.

    As Babowa says, get an external disk.  You should have one for normal backups anyway.
    Actually, I'm a strong fan of having multiple backups.  3 copies including the original, 2 different backup formats, and 1 backup off-site.
    And when you have your iMac in for service, if you have just 1 backup at that point in time you have just 1 copy of your data.  I get paranoid about my data.
    But if you are just making 1 backup, I would use SuperDuper (free for a full clone, and extremely good software, as is Carbon Copy Cloner, but it is not free anymore).
    And then I would "Boot" from the clone, to make sure it was a good clone.
    Booted from the clone, I would then use Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility to zero the original disk, as suggested by Babowa, so that when they replace the disk, the original disk containing your data is not in the hands of strangers.  A single pass of zeros is more than good enough as an erase, as the chances are no one is going to spend the money needed to try and read the erased data.  It is not like you have any super secret data, just stuff you do not want the casual data theif to get.  You will find the zeroing options under Disk Utility -> Erase -> Security Options
    Just make sure you actually boot from your clone before erasing your original.  And if you are paranoid like me, make 2 backups, then erase the original :-)

  • Fax modem won't work - Apple USB external modem

    I am new to Mac, well relatively.... It's been 8 years, and now I am back!!
    Anyway, I got an iMac 3 weeks ago, and love it. However, I can't get my external modem/fax modem working. I bought the Apple USB external modem, hooked it up, setup a fax printer, and NOTHING. I try to print to the fax and it won't even dial. I call the fax number, and it won't answer. I know it's a live phone line b/c I can hook it up to my fax machine and it works fine, both for incoming and outgoing messages. Is there a trick? Do I have to set up an actual external modem interface in the networks panel just to use an existing phone line? Thanks for your help....

    You actually need to configure your iMac as a fax machine to send and receive faxes through the Apple USB modem.
    From Faxing in Mac Help in the Finder Help menu;
    *To set up your Mac to receive faxes*:
    1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Print & Fax.
    2. Select the fax modem in the Printers list.
    3. Type your fax number in the Fax Number field. This is used to identify your computer when you send or receive a fax.
    4. If you want to control your computer’s fax functions from the menu bar, select “Show fax status in menu bar.” If you don’t want to receive faxes automatically, you must select this option. If you receive faxes automatically, you may want to select this option so you can view status information more easily.
    5. Click Receive Options.
    6. Select “Receive faxes on this computer,” and choose the number of rings before your computer answers a fax.
    a. If you want to receive faxes automatically, make sure your computer answers the phone before any other device that may be connected to it, such as a phone answering machine.
    b. If you don’t want to receive faxes automatically, set the number of rings to the highest number possible, and use the Fax status menu to receive faxes manually.
    7. Choose what to do with the fax after it arrives; you can save it as an image file, email it, and print it to a printer.
    *To send a fax:*
    1. Choose File > Print, and then choose Fax PDF from the PDF pop-up menu.
    2. Type the fax number in the To field, or click the Address Book button to the right of the To field to select a number. If you want to paste a number into the To field and the Edit > Paste command isn’t available, hold down the Control key as you click the To field and choose Paste from the menu that appears.
    3. If your phone system requires you to dial a prefix for an outside line, type it in the Dialing Prefix field.
    4. If you want to include a cover page, select “Use Cover page” and enter a subject and message.
    5. Make sure the correct fax device is selected from the Printer pop-up menu.
    6. To change your options, choose the option category from the print options pop-up menu. For example, to choose your modem’s behavior when faxing, choose Fax Modem. You can choose whether to dial with touch tones or pulse tones, whether to listen to the modem as it dials, and whether to wait for a steady dial tone before dialing.
    7. Click Fax.
