I am using a SMC wireless card with an Airport Base Station (Snow) and a Wallstreet with OS 10.2.1. I am using the WirelessDriverBeta software from sourceforge.net and after considerable wrangling with settings etc I have managed to get up and running on the Net. OS 10.2.1 has Internet Connect that will not work with WirelessDriver but a third party software app called ABS Modem Utility will allow me to connect. It runs in Classic only right now but it works well.
Here is my question(s): Is there any utilities or apps available to show the connect speed obtained once the connection is made? The Modem Utility shows connect or disconnect only status and not any speeds. I can't tell what baud rate I am connected at and would like to know how well the connection is at different locations around the house. Can I actually connect two computers at a time to the Internet using dial up and the base station? I have two separate Wallstreets with the SMC card in one and an Orinoco Gold in the other. Can they both be connected at once? The Airport Setup Assistant and Internet Connect will not recognize anything but the Apple Airport Cards. Does anyone know of any third party cards that ARE recognized? Sorry for the lengthy post but this is really interesting and information about this is limited to me.
