wm300 Tl Posts: 3 USA | Posted - 8/27/2006 7:30:25 AM I have switched from PC to Mac. The Mac is a Power Mac Tower G4 with internal V92 modem. I can only get a 28K connecton on the same phone line I used o get 50.6K with the PC and a external USR Modem. The Mac is USB. Can someone suggest a high quality external USB modem that is MAC Compatable. I cant live at 28K, it creeps, 50.6K was bad enough LOL. Thank You |

wm300 Tl Posts: 3 USA | Posted - 8/28/2006 5:14:52 AM Hello Richard; Last night, I found that Zoom makes a USB external modem with Mac, does not have any serial ports, all USB or Firewire WM-300 |
v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA | Posted - 8/29/2006 1:47:55 AM Yes, the Zoom 2986 is uses hardware controller - they made this modem with either Agere or Conexant chipset - the new ones probably have Conexant chipsets. 1 other thing you might consider: a USB to serial-port adapter would probably be less expensive than another modem that may not give you the desired performance. Aloha! Richard. |
