USB modems

[Kevin Lock]

I am hoping that some member(s) are using, or have recently used,  a USB modem 
on a PPC Mac.

I have a nice collection of G5 PPC towers to distribute and cannot find a USB 
modem which will run on PPC Macs.  Any ideas for me?  Virgin had one, but no 
longer sells or supports USB modems.

Regards,

Kev

Re: USB modems

[Kevin Lock]

Geoff,

As I recall you are near Albany?

If so, I would be most grateful for the USB Modems and will pay any costs for 
postage.

My postal address is …11 Jasper Court, Libra Lake 6157.

There is no rush, so if you are planning a trip up here sometime, I’d like to 
see you both again.

Regards,

Kev (Lock)

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

Re: USB modems

[Ronda Brown]

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.

http://tinyurl.com/hawaaty

"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 
iMac G5. This compact and light Apple modem is easy to install and use. Never 
miss any important call when online with the modem-on-hold feature of this 
external USB modem."

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,
I am prepring an old Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 for a welfare recipient.

She will want to buy a USB modem.  They are cheap enough; around $20.

I bought one from videophone, but it doesn’t like 10.4.11 or 10.5.8. PPC

Is there one which will run on PPC 10.4.11?

TIA

Hi WAMUG

My Mum is interested in trying the Internet.
Her OSX BW G3, my old one that I got from Daniel Kerr years ago, has no 
internal modem.


Aside from Swann ones I don't really know which are the good ones.
I don't want to spend much as that would be lost money when she gets 
ADSL later.


I'm hoping I can find one on eBay, I just don't know which ones are OK 
to use with Macs.

Any tips appreciated.


Cheers
Paul
