I don't know where to ask this question, hope this is a reasonable place to ask it. If not, point me elsewhere, please.
As you might know, I run Tiger on my Pismo. I am moving to an uber rural location soon and one major candidates for broadband access is: datajack. Datajack needs to confirm their coverage map covers our location - but they suggest it will work. Problem: their web site shows that their equip will work with any intel Mac. I have no intel Macs. Checking their download page, they mention Leopard and Snow Leopard. Calling their customer service, one of their people said that he personally hooked up the Datajack usb modem to his friends non- intel Mac and it worked fine. When I asked which OS, I was told, "I don't know. Just buy the latest OS and you'll be fine." *sigh* Do any of you have any thoughts on whether I could get my Pismo running Tiger to hook up to DataJack services? I'm so lost on how this all works. It doesn't seem reasonable to me to believe that I need a certain OS to make a broadband connection work - but I've been wrong before, of course. Thoughts? PS: I don't wanna buy an intel mac, nor Snow Leopard. PPS: Second runner up to Datajack is Millenicom but they're much more expensive. Third runner up is Verizon, who offers excellent coverage / signal, but high prices and long contracts. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Books, a group for those using G3 iBooks and PowerBooks (we run a separate list for G4 'Books).
