Using Apple external modem in Windows

I just got a new black 2.16 Macbook. I have ordered a copy of Windows XP Home SP2 and a copy of Parallels. I have a software called Meditech by Cambridge Software which allows me to connect to my hospital computer system via a modem--the Mac version stopped working a while ago on my Macs, as soon as they became G5 the modem wouldn't connect anymore. The software was written for Windows with the Mac version as an afterthought I believe. Will the network settings when run in Windows XP allow me to use my Apple External Modem (as you know, they Macbooks don't have a built in internal modem) to connect to this software?

  • Problem using Apple External Modem in France

    Hi,
    My dad lives in France but purchased his MacBook and Apple External USB modem here in the US. He has been unable to get a reliable dialup connection with the Apple modem, though his older PC laptop routinely gets a solid connection. I know about the USB bug in 10.4.7 mentioned in several other discussions, but downloading and installing the "backgrade" fix did not solve the problem. He even purchased a second Apple modem from the French online Apple store but had the same problem.
    Does anyone know if the Apple modem is designed to work in foreign countries, or does he need to buy a third-party modem manufactured in France? Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I'm guessing here, but since all the issues with 10.4.7 have been addressed with 10.4.8, your dad should be fine right now. Tell him to upgrade. I seem to recall that this upgrade specifically states that French issues with the modem have been addressed and solved.

  • Using Apple external modem to dial up UNIX

    New to Mac, and for work I need to dial into our modem on UNIX computers. I can get the connection with Zterm, however I'm getting giburish back and can't seem to change the setting properly to get a Username and subsequent Password prompt back from UNIX. Then I expect to stay connected and work on the command line.
    Previously I had Windows and used HyperTerminal to get me into the UNIX machines.
    anyone familar with this?
    Thanks!!!

    I can dial out, get connected - all via Zterm; i just get a lot of gibberish back from the UNIX computer, instead of being English and prompting me for username and password.
    Some setting is still off. I have sent an email to Zterm author.

  • 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.

  • Modem settings for Apple external modem

    I'm not certain if my terminology is correct, but is there a way to set the packet size (MTU?) for sent transmissions for an Apple external modem? Specifically, I'd like to see what mine is set for, and change the values to perform some tests. I've seen posts where the MTU cannot exceed 1492 bytes with some ISP's or data is fragmented. My specific problem is that I am unable to send attachments larger than about 50KB from Leopard's Mail app (3.2), although I can send attachments with no problem from Tiger. Text messages are no problem. Thanks in advance for advise.

    Thanks a lot for answering.
    I believe the modem is working. I can hear it dial, hear the handshake and apparent connection. The modem status display shows "Connecting" then "Authenticating" and eventually "Disconnecting". I get an Internet Connect report that "Authentication Failed". I have verified that my Account Name and Password are correct, by logging on to the Road Runner Web Mail site. I went through that in detail with their tech support.
    How can I disable v.92 in OS X 10.5.6? I tried disabling error control and data compression, but that seemed to have no effect. What about these settings:
    Send PPP echo packets
    Use verbose logging
    Use TCP header compression
    Would any of those PPP settings have an effect on Authentication?
    So far, the only way I have been able to connect and log in by dialup is with a PowerBook G3 (Wallstreet) in OS 9 with a PC card modem. My normal connection is a cable modem and that's no problem, but I wanted to test dialup as a backup. Now, it's a challenge.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Apple External Modem FAX Does Not work in 64bit mode

    Apple needs to update its Fax Driver to 64bit mode. Since upgrading to the i7 in 10.6.6, the system boots in 64bit mode which is great! Except i can't fax anymore from my MacBook. Research has shown that it only works in 32bit mode. I do not want to boot in 32 at this point. Anybody know of any other solutions, external fax modems or 64bit drivers or software that will work with the Apple External modem?

    I am having similar issue.  I can't order a new McBook Pro until I know I can fax directly from it ... its essential for me.  I'm shocked no one as addressed your concern.  Is Apple so arrogant when it comes to their business customers that they abandon fax/telephony technology with out a fall back position or warning to users? 
    I got used to Microsoft arrogance; but I was hoping more user concern from Apple.

  • SHDSL using an external modem

    Hello,
    Just wondering if it is a possible to configure a Cisco 2611XM for SHDSL using an external modem such as the RAD product ASMi-52 which does the line sync for you.
    The CHAP authentication needs to be done by the router behind it (2611XM in this case).
    I've never done this without a wic, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Leo,
    Is PPPoE used for SHDSL? sorry for the silly question !
    A standard SHDSL connection with a WIC looks like this:
    interface ATM0
    no ip address
    no atm ilmi-keepalive
    dsl equipment-type CPE
    dsl operating-mode GSHDSL symmetric annex B
    dsl linerate AUTO
    interface ATM0.1 point-to-point
    description INTERNET
    pvc 1/34
    ubr 1024
    encapsulation aal5mux ppp dialer
    dialer pool-member 1
    interface Dialer1
    description INTERNET
    ip address negotiated
    ip nat outside
    encapsulation ppp
    dialer pool 1
    dialer-group 1
    no cdp enable
    ppp authentication chap callin
    ppp chap hostname xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxx
    ppp chap password xxxxxxxxxx
    crypto map mymap
    In my scenario, I'm not using the WIC, so I'm a bit confused as to how the configuration shouyld like as I have no ATM interface.

  • Drivers for the Apple External Modem in 10.5

    Hi all! I recently upgraded my system with Leopard. All seems to be great save for the fact I can't use the external Apple USB modem attached to my Macbook Pro. While I don't fax that much I do sometimes have to use it to receive faxes and such from others. Is there a driver update for this for Leopard? Thanks to all in advance for the help!
    Lance

    The drivers for the Apple USB Modem are already installed along with Leopard..... I'm not sure why its not working.
    Try opening up System Preferences - Network, and see if it shows up/if its enabled.
    Other than that, I don't see why you should have any problems.

  • MA034 Apple external modem

    Victim of late-night eBaying, I find myself with an Apple MA034 external modem which I only bought thinking that I could use it to send/receive FAXes occasionally. I imagined plugging it into the phone line and running FAX software (what software??) on my Mac...
    Is this possible? Especially, have you done it?

    Yes, it does show as you say, as 'External Modem, not configured'. Configuration requires a Telephone no., Account Name and Password, which sounds like it assumes a straight-forward dial-up connection to an ISP. I, however, want to be able to Fax occasionally which needs no ISP, just a fax machine at the other end. And, of course, some software - Mac or 3rd party - to generate the dialling codes. (Just in case my Mac 'just works (tm)' I put in a known fax number, rubbish username and pwd and pressed Connect. It just hung around and disconnected).
    I'm still trying to establish whether you or anyone has actually used a Mac + MA034 to send a fax and, if so, what needed to be done to do so. If this combination can be set up to receive them in the background as well, so much the better!

  • Please help: Problem sending fax to one recipient using Apple USB Modem

    Hello,
    I'm using an Apple USB Modem to send an receive faxes on my PowerMac G5. This is working great to the most recipients, but not one with a Philips fax machine.
    The problem is, that everybody can send faxes to him - except of me
    I'm using a software called Pagesender for this, I e-mailed the support and he told me, that the my fax is timing out and some of his customers have made positive reports of Zoom and Best Data Modems in cases where the Apple Modems have encountered line noise.
    Also the Tiger fax solution doesn't work ... The odd things are, that I could send faxes using a stationary fax machine and don't have problems to send faxes to others ...
    Is there really no solution for this.
    Best regards
    René
