piet mostrey inquired... >I'm having trouble installing my ethernet adsl modem. I work on a (second >hand) powerbase 180 with os 8.6. I'm on a PowerWave 604/132 still using OS 8.6 and have been using an external Nortel Networks 1 Meg DSL modem (Model NTEX35) since 2000 with no problems (other than the first one failing after about 11 months).
>The only ethernet extension I found was apple ethernet CS II. To my knowledge I use no extension for my DSL modem... >Since I don't have the option to choose connect via >ethernet in apple talk nor in tcp/ip, nor in the modem control panel I set up my protocols using the TCP/IP, version 2.0.1. It offers Ethernet as an option and is confiugred manually per the specs from my ISP. The modem control panel, which I used when I was on a dial up connection, is now unused. >I presume I miss the original driver of the pci ethernet card. My ISP supplied my DSL modem but included no driver. I don't think it's necessary. The only software my ISP supplied is MacPoet 1.1. I'd check with you ISP. They should know the answers, if they're not completely ignorant of Macs. Some of my ISP's tech support people are, but I've found others to be quite knowledgeable of Macs, even OS 8.6, a veritable antique, but stable antique, in today's world.
