We have a couple of Huawei USB modems that you can have if they are of any use. 
Of course they will need SIM cards. One has a broken aerial connector, but in 
the city an aerial is probably not required (unlike here). We have found these 
connectors to be very flakey - it pays to take the modem to the shop when 
buying an aerial to try it out.

Re: USB modems

[Kevin Lock]

Hi Ronni,

I have a few G5 towers.  I also bought a couple of the Apple USB modems, but 
they look as though they need a phone line to connect.
PPC machines are getting to be a bit like me….still work OK but can’t handle 
the latest technology.   I get very few donations of intel machines.

Cheers,

Kev

Hi Kevin,

I don't know where you could pick up any locally. Daniel might know or have 
some lying around in his 'surplus supplies' ;-)
I did have a couple but threw them out with some other old Tech stuff on verge 
pickup awhile ago. :(

Are they Power PC G5?

eBay Au search for Apple "Apple MA034Z/A USB modem" (without the quotes) brings 
up a few.

"Apple MA034Z/A modem. With a data transfer rate of up to 56 kpbs, this Apple 
modem allows for speedier browsing, opening and surfing of online content. 
This external USB modem, with a fax transmission rate of 14.4kpbs, ensures your 
clients and customers get the faxes faster. 
You can connect the versatile Apple MA034Z/A to your Power Mac G5, Mac mini or

USB modems

[Kevin Lock]

Hi,

does anyone on the list know where I can source such modems that will run on 
PPC Macs.I still have a number of nice PPC macs to give to welfare clients 
and most of them require a USB modem as the clients are usually unable to 
afford other connection methods.

Hi Maureen

Thanks very much for the reminder, I appreciate it as I had over looked it.

Can you please let me know how much the subscription is so I can pay online?

Best regards

Chris
