re: TOPIC: USB modem speed
Thanks for your input esp. about the pair gaining. My modems are v. 92 isp is at least V.90 dial-up. Yup - I've had telco here several times over the years and they even ran a new line to the house from the the main cable pedestal, put new lines in the house and new jacks. The problem is with the main cable in this location - it is in a rural area close to a small town and they just don't want to spend the money replacing the twisted pair cable that has probably been here since at least the early sixties. The techs admitted to me that the cable was noisy all the way into town but claim that it meets their required db standards for telephone communication. Actually, the service has degraded over the years - at one time I was averaging 33k. As for Ernie's very helpful comments, I've noticed the clamp as well - time I contacted telco again. I've given up that they will ever do anything unless there is substantial profit to be made for them or enough people across the country get together for a class action. The only type of connection my phone lines justify is a very low-cost service which the ISP assures me is 56k capable. I've never had the ability for high-speed downloads. Forget about watching you tube, a live netflix film, any streaming video or listening to live streaming audio such as Internet radio. Oh, well . . . Count your blessings and so will I. J. Ok. So your initial carrier speed is low. But then to what speed does it later retrain? IF the usable carrier remains that slow, over a V.90 dial-up, then you have telephone line noise problems. You should fix that. If you can get xDSL over 200 Kbps then it's already done. (200 Kbps is the FCC's baseline criteria for broadband. Yes, it's so low it's made us a world-wide joke.) Besides getting basic phone services to most rural areas, that's what the Universal Services Fund did. Of course, that massive fund has now been dumped into the general fund, so it vanished in a puff of national debt. These days, it's being used to wire schools. One limitation I have not seen mentioned recently is the practice of some TelComs of doubling their subscribers in remote rural areas by Pair Gaining the existing Copper Pairs thatservice the remote areas. In my former home in Central California, 35 miles of cable from the nearest CO, the TelCom pair gained the existing T-1 effectively making 2X T-1 out of the existing T-1. In the process they reduced the 56K internet service to 24K. The Pair Gain is accomplished by time sharing the incoming T-1 line to provide 2 out going lines. This requires A-D conversion that reduces the available Bandwidth for the two outgoing lines. When I complained they just said they only guaranteed noise free Voice communication. The service was clamped at 24K during most hours of the day. I could achieve download speeds of near 1000K for the first few seconds until the clamp was activated. This was most noticeable at around 3 AM when the other, about 100 phones, more normal people were sleeping. I did find out that Twisted Pair Copper would support 1000K downloads when there was no repeaters or shunts in the phone line run and if the the line was quiet. That 1000K was as reported by the Test site. I used iCab set to not display Images to download a 1+M Image of a Sea Turtle. The site then calculated the Time to complete the download. It would seem the Modem must have had a large Buffer. Apple at one time had a small app for download that would allow the user to easily modify the Phone Script. I played with it in a vain attempt to increase my download speed before I discovered the Pair Gain dodge the TelCom was using. I used an External Modem given to me by a PC friend that claimed it had some special computer inside the box. I think I still have all that stuff amongst my treasures. As I recall it was marked as a 33.6K Modem but in reality, when properly scripted, it had no limit I ever found.

And after a quick look at their website I would not trust them. They list HFS Wrapper as a supported file system and claim support for recovery from Lacie Hard drives? Since when are Lacie any different than a standard external hard drive? And this sentence is barely comprehensible: Either you possess your lost data on Lacie drives, USB drives or Mac hard drives, the software stands as the ultimate Mac data recovery product and hence the best solution. I would not use this software. If you want a data recovery solution that works a lot of the time get Data Rescue from Prosoft Engineering.

Couldn't even sense it was going over the network to the external drive ... Bill: You just talked to me too. Thanks for the update, showing that the new CCC works as I plan to use it.

QuickSilver blacks out
Hi all, My Quicksilver 2002 (upgraded to 1.8 GHz, 160 Gb HD, ATI Radeon 64 Mb Video, Leopard, 10.5.5) has started acting really weird. - It starts up by itself in the middle of the night. - The monitor blacks out every minute, and then comes on about 4 seconds later. I've tried booting off another image, and the same thing happens, and I've tried swapping video cards but it keeps doing it. I've connected the monitor to my PC (Yechh!), and that works fine (AArrgh!) all the time, so I don't thuink its the monitor. I haven't checked the PRAM battery, but it was replaced in July '08, so I suspect it should be OK. All suggestions (except getting another Mac) welcome.

Bob Could you try another video card in the QS? Reset PRAM? I have a QS 2002 ... but it hasn't misbehaved like that ... original Dual 1GHz, 10.5.5, but an ATI Radeon 9800Pro Mac Edition. You just do the Quicktime update? needs to restart to finish the install? is that what its trying to do? Guessing.
