I am so glad to have a mac with a modem to receive fax that make my work more efficient than before. But the problem is: The Apple USB modem have only one port that occupied my only telephone port in my house. But as there is hard to buy a phone-line adapter or separator in the stores anymore in my city. And I find that the software phone programs uses modem to make phone calls are "Dead".

I really need a competent advise - my finances are limited and I need to know before spending money on this modem.
Tried bringing up a 2 minute QuickTime Tutorial on Apple's site with my new iMac set up connecting to the Net with a Dial-Up Modem.
However, after the video very slowly loaded it would stop after the initial few seconds of a start-up.
Does this mean it is impossible to view Web videos using a Dial-Up Modem?
PB G4 12" OSX 10.4.11 - modem does not recognize dial tone. Connections OK.. Recently, the modem recongized dial tone and connected to internet, but, no sound of the dialing. Last time used modem, connected via DSL to internet OK, and AirPort OK..Today, internal Modem does not recognize 'dial up' dial tone, error message: check connections. Is it possible for the DLS connection to corrupt the dial up process?.. also, the SuperDrive has not worked in a month (cd will not go in).

I'd love to be able to click numbers to dial, then just pick up my other line.
I have a mac pro (intel) and macbook pro (intel). OS X 10.6, both without modems. I need to fax maybe 1-5 pages a month and am tired of going to the local mailboxes etc. And paying $1 page. My multiprinter Canon MP500 does not fax. I know I can join an efax type system but that's $80 a year. Are there any software programs to download and takes care of 'Sending" faxes without a modem or fax machine. Looked a pagesender but that requires a efax type of account. Just want to convert a scan into a fax and send it without adding another telephone line or piece of hardware.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a desktop PC wired into an Airport Extreme and then my macbook pro wirelessly connected. We are both running at the same speed - slower than dial up! I had Time Warner talk me through checking the connection and everything is fine on their end. They said it the problem was airport. I called Apple and was suggested to "change channels" to an odd number instead of using "automatic" through manual set up. Tried that - just as slow. I also upgraded to 7.4.2.

I'm trying to dial into a conference bridge via Facetime on my iMac through my paired iPhone. I have no problems with regular calls this way but I can't get Facetime to make the correct tone through the # key. I've also tried Continuity Keypad and this doesn't work either. Is there a way to make the # key make the correct tone?

I'd like to use my mac (Imac and Macmini) for sending/receiving faxes and perhaps for CPI (computer phone integration).I have obtained a USRobotics usb modem. The question I have is do I need to connect that modem to the same connection (using a splitter) to where my telephone handset is ?If I connect this usb modem from the macmini to the phone line (not where the handset is), can I then use the Imac to connect to the phone for fax/cpi|? It is all the same phone line and on the same wifi.

I am aware that I can e-mail these things, but a few required me to fax them. My wife wants me to buy a fax machine even though I just need to fax something once in a while.
I have a Power Mac G4 using MAC OS 10.5.8. My Internet, TV, and Phone connections are cable from Cable Vision in New York. My computer has an internal 56K V.92 modem on the back. I used one end of a regular phone line jack to connect to the internal modem and the other end to the phone line. When I tried to fax something I kept getting a message that said "Waiting for modem to become available." I cannot fax anything from the computer.
I am trying to send and receive faxes from my internal modem on my macbook pro. I think the port I am plugging the phone line into is an ethernet port. Does this double up as a modem port or is there no port for me to plug in to?
I have tried everything else and think this is the problem.
If I cannot plug my phone line into the port how can I send and receive faxes on my computer?
I have a Mac Book Pro running VMWare Fusion and Vista loaded. I recently purchased the USB modem from Apple with hopes of having Vista recognize it and be able to use dial-up. Yes I know why dial-up, I am a Technician who has to remotely connect to customer sites for maintenance-changes etc.. Vista will not recognize the modem nor is there any driver support through Apple for this scenario. Any suggestions or tricks would be great? Oh yeah, if i get this to work my company will deploy all Mac products .
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an AT&T Express 3G card I use to use with my MBP (which I sold yesterday). I am picking up a MacBook Air today during my lunchbreak . Since the MBA does not have an express slot, I have the following options for high speed internet on the go:
1. Get a USB 3G Modem or get a USB adapter for my current express card. The only problem is it would stick out and take up the only USB port on the MBA.
2. Get a 3G phone capable of sharing the connection over bluetooth. It would look seemless, but I would have to make sure the phone is charged. I currently use an iPhone as my main phone.
I take a train ride everyday to and from work, so I've gotten used to (spoiled?) having high speed internet. If I go with option 2, I would probably get a phone that is not that feature packed, I just want a stable and reliable connection, as thats all I would be using it for.
I've just gotten a new Sony Ericsson w350, and everything is working fine, except that I see that it connects to Internet Explorer to transfer music. Upon looking this up, it says it should still work to transfer music using a drag and drop and appearing as a USB on my mac.

i'm thinking of putting the microsim in a modem and using it in my mbp... however, i was hoping to get some recommendations. any one using one in the SD slot or a general USB one (the SD slot is why i posted this in the MBP forum, mods!).
realize the software is not built in, so that would be a pretty key requirement. i hate the idea of os 10.7 coming out and having to wait six months for drivers
My ISP requires that I connect via PPPoE. The lame ISP doesn't even have a quick setup [auto setup] process via CD or dmg. No problem as PPPoE isn't a problem even though I don't like it. If anything goes wrong I'm always having to fiddle with my PPPoE settings in Airport Utility etc. Sort of a nuisance. I'm using my Airport Express and get dropouts quite often. Could be torrent throttling, maybe not. The modem I have is the stock ISP modem which I don't like anyway because it only has one LAN port. I was thinking of buying my own modem. Can you buy any modem? Would that eliminate the requirement for a PPPoE connection? Is PPPoE required because of the the modem or ISP or both?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a wireless network set up at my home. I have two laptops that were both working fine on the network at one point. Laptop A still works fine, thus the network is working. Laptop B cannot connect to the internet via this network but the airport connection on that machine is completely full.
In my system preferences > Network Panel I am able to see the green light suggesting that I am connect to the network and that I am also connect to the internet via this airport.
It is also worth noting that the same machine works fine connecting to the internet at my office via the airport there as well as other airport networks.
I am at a loss because the fact that laptop A works on the network rules out the network as the issue and the fact that laptop B works on other wireless network suggests that the settings are correct. Both machines are running the same OS 10.6 ( latest updates)
Something strange happened to my Mac, I use a USB modem by Orange il. Mac recognized it with no problem and installed the installation package. After installation when Mac recognized the modem again a gray screen appeared and asked to do Hard Reset. I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and I had no such problems with it. It happened to me once when I had version 10.5 and changed Drivers for usb to use Dfu. I checked the computer, and to be sure I downloaded the new drivers and reinstall it and it still happens when I insert the modem. As soon as I uninstall the modem I can insert it without a problem until I install the drivers and then this Crash happens again.
