Usb adsl modem for intel Mac?

I just discovered that my speedtouch 330 usb modem will not work with the new Imac I have just purchased. I am looking for a reliable inexpensive usb or ethernet dsl modem (not a router). Many models I have checked are not mac/intel compatible. Has antone elso had this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks in advance

Hi
If you are going to use iChat stay away from speedtouch(known problems).
Get yourself a Netgear DG834 http://www.netgear.co.uk/wiredbroadband_routerdg834.php or if you need wireless a DG834GT http://www.netgear.co.uk/wirelessbroadband_routerdg834gt.php

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).

USB ADSL Modem Driver for Huawei MT841 for Solaris Express

Hello Everyone
After initial hiccups of installing Solaris Express in a multiboot system and partition mania,i finally installed Solaris Express on my system.First i installed Developer Edition and upgraded it to Express thinking that Developer Edition doesnt have networking capabilities.
All said and done now i'm unable to access the internet.I'm using Broadband USB ADSL Modem from Huawei,type MT841 with four ethernet ports and one USB port.I dont have ethernet card so i use USB port to connect.
The thing is the modem cd doesnt have a driver for Solaris,but for linux it does.
Where can i find the driver for ADSL modem and how to install it,if i find it?
Is there any alternate way?Expecting a reply(because my last post about multiboot didnt)
Thanks in advance

Problem Solved!
Un-installing all USB modem device drivers, disconnecting all USB devices and removing all USB host controllers and hubs from the Vista device manager and then rebooting the notebook MADE NO DIFFERENCE.
However when I received the new Thomson SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL modem drivers on CD-ROM from the manufacturer the modem installed immediately.
I can only assume that there is a problem with the download of Release 4.1 of the Windows Vista driver for the SpeedTouch 330 from this web-page:
http://www.thomson-broadband.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7&ProductID=471
... as the drivers on the CD-ROM from Thomson work - but their web download of the driver for the SpeedTouch does not.
The problem was with the driver for Windows Vista - the laptop and modem now work correctly - as they should have done at the first installation attempt!
Thanks for your help.

Powerbook had to shut down?! [USB ADSL Modem] .

Hey,
My Powerbook just arrived today so I decided to try and surf on the net, so I could update my software and other stuff. But I'm having trouble with the preferences for the USB ADSL programn and after I've tried multiple times to connect to the Internet.. I had enough and I pulled the USB (of the modem) out of my laptop. When I do that with my desktop pc (Windows XP) there's no problem at all... My computer just displays that the modem is disconnected, but my Powerbook on the other hand... Stopped working and showed a dark grey box which said (in 4 languages): "You have to restart your laptop now. You can do this etc etc... "
Does anyone know why my Powerbook has to restart when I unplug the modem USB and if it's bad for my Powerbook?! Since I'm new to mac and I don't want to demolish my Powerbook right away....
And if anyone has tips for connecting a USB ADSL modem to my Powerbook... They're welcome
Powerbook 15" 1.67 Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

USB modems do not work with Macs. Get an modem with ethernet. What you experienced is a kernel panic as explained here.

10.3.7 USB ADSL Modem blues

Hi
I have a SpeedTouch USB ADSL modem that works beautifully under OS 9, but - in spite of downloading the OS X drivers - I can't get the darn thing to connect under OS X...any ideas?
The modem seems happy (all lights up and steady) so the prob seems to be with the mac connecting to my ISP's server...it uses a PPP server connection, so username and pass plus the ini strings are all the info I have...
HELP!

Just to add my 2 cent's to ADSL Nations excellent advise.
For whatever reason $$$ Many of the UK and Europe Internet Service Providers opt to use USB Modems and as already stated they are and can be a nightmare.
I suggest you 1st get in touch with your Internet Service Provider and see if the will furnish you with a Ethernet ADSL Modem.
If not they are readily available from just about any computer store.
I do suggest you spend a little extra and go for a Multi-port and if you have the need you can also go for a combined Wireless Modem Router.
Hope this helps

Conecting to bt broadband with a USB ADSL Modem :s

Hi! I really know nothing about computers so would be very grateful for some help
My grandma recently bought me a iBook G4 to take to uni with me. I have never used any kind of mac until now so have spent the last few months getting used to it. However, I am still having trouble conecting to the internet. We have a pc at home which uses broadband (a bt voyager 105, USB ADSL modem box thingy) and I have been trying to get my iBook to connect using this but it just doesnt seem to want to work at all! The iBook doesnt seem to realise that the broadband box thingy is plugged in although it is powering the BT modem box, its all very confusing to me. I have tried using the Network Setup Assistant but its got me no where.
I dont know if they are compatible or not or wether I need to get a different connection device or what! Any advice/help would be much appreciated
Many thanks, Amy

Networking with USB ADSL modem (and AOL)

hi there,
just purchased first mac (macbook), and want to get it online.
i have a windows desktop connected to AOL with a USB ADSL modem, and would like my Macbook to be able to be wirelessly connected to the internet.
I understand that having AOL and a USB modem can be problematic in setting up a wireless network.
Can anybody offer me any help, i.e what routers to buy and how to set it up? or even just link me to a similar topic?
thanks very much in advance.

Hi andwhy
as Duane suggest you need to replace the usb modem.
You can get a wireless adsl router for about £50.
USB modem cann be networked unless you use your pc as a gateway. This would involve install router software on the pc, then you would need to get a wireless access point connected to the pc.
So it is much simpler and more cost effective to use a wireless ADSL router.
I would check out the adsl routers you can get from http://www.solwise.co.uk

USB STICK MODEM COMPATIBLE WITH MAC OS LION

What USB Adsl Modems are there that are MAC OS X compatible? Can someone please hook me up with a list?
Why do you feel that you need a USB modem? I would think that you should be able to use a standard ADSL modem, connecting it to your phone line on one end and via Ethernet to your Mac Pro at the other end.

USB ADSL Modem fails to install on Equium P200-1ED

I have a Toshiba Equium P200-1ED; Model Number# PSPB5E-003004KS.
I wish to use my Thomson SpeedTouch 330 - a USB bus powered USB ADSL modem - to my Toshiba Equium P200-1ED and have downloaded Release 4.1 of the Windows Vista driver from this web-page:
http://www.thomson-broadband.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7&ProductID=471
... however when the Vista modem driver is executed, the software fails to recognise the Thomson SpeedTouch 330 ADSL modem when the driver software prompts me to connect the modem.
The Thomson SpeedTouch 330 ADSL modem works perfectly when used with my old Toshiba/XP laptop (which was how I downloaded the Vista driver for the modem for the Equium).
What is wrong?

Tiger Upgrade - No recognition of USB ADSL Modem

After upgrading to Tiger I had some problems with my internal hard drive (discussed elsewhere). As a safety measure I decided to make my external drive a boot drive and successfully installed Tiger. During installation I used the option to transfer all of the files and settings etc from my original boot drive and everything appears to have been transferred correctly except that the USB ADSL modem no longer synchronises (only the power light is illuminated on the modem, no DSL light) nor is recognised by 'Internet connect' or the System Preferences 'Network' settings. These show only the internal dial up modem and offer as alternatives only firewire or ethernet (not USB). On inspection, all of the relevant files appear to exist on my external drive (ie seems to be an exact copy of my internal drive) but I cannot connect to the internet. When I restart using my internal boot drive, everything is back to normal and I am immediately able to connect to the internet. I want to erase my internal drive to clear its problems and reinstall Tiger etc, but don't dare to do so until my external drive is functioning properly (including the internet connection). Any ideas?

Allan,
Many thanks for your help. I did not specifically upgrade the modem driver, but there is not a problem with my internal (normal) boot drive, so the driver seems to be okay. The only problem is that, even though I seem to have an identical set of software on my external boot drive, I cannot get to synchronise the modem (no DSL light) when running on the external drive.
However, all this will cease to be a problem once I connect my new router using ethernet. Unfortunately, I do not have any instructions on connecting using ethernet and have not used ethernet before. I uderstand that it is important to do things in the correct sequence, but do not know what that sequence is. I do know the connection code and password for my current ISP, but as they are not the suppliers of the router, they may not be able to guide me on the connection sequence. Are you able to help?

PlainTextPaste for Intel Mac?

I frequently need to copy many file names into an email. I had been using PlainTextPaste, but that does not run on the Intel Macs. Now, when I select more than one file in the Finder, copy, and paste into an email, the actual files themselves get pasted in, and not the names. Does anyone know of another product like PlainTextPaste for Intel Macs, or is there already a way to get the result I want that I don't know about?
Thanks,
-Tiffany

Create a new document in TextEdit, choose Make Plain Text from the Format menu, paste the list into it, and then copy it from there.

Best financial software for Intel Macs

I see to my disgust that Intuit just released a new version of Quicken that is not universal binary. That being the case, what is the best home financial software for Intel Macs?

Hey Todd,
Just to be sure I am understanding you - you are saying you are miffed because Quicken missed the chance to go Universal Binary. That is understandable, but I just wanted to make sure you knew that it still runs on Intel macs.
I am running the newest release on my Macbook and to be honest Quicken just isn't one of those apps that is going to benefit from more speed.
My frustration has always been that Quicken dumbs down the functionality for the Mac version. Still the case with this last release.
That said, Quicken is still the best buy for my money (sorry couldn't resist!) and runs well via on the Intel macs.
The best solution and the one I am moving toward is to load XP on Parallels and run the PC version of Quicken that way.
Best of all worlds I would say.
