Re: modem port going, going.....

[Don]

Ken yes, I may go this route. Would certainly be cheaper as for a couple
of reasons I wouldn't attempt to do a modem install myself. I am thinking
about adding a new iMac to my life and if I do, won't get a new 'book but will
upgrade this one with bigger, faster HD and a new modem. In the meantime, the
slot modem might be the way to go.

Thanks,

Don

Can you try a PCMCIA modem? I picked up a Zoom PCMCIA v90 modem new in box
off ebay for $10. Downloaded the mac firmwae update software and its off an
running.

I use it in a Wallstreet where my internal modem wont work. FYI, I did
replace the internal modem in my Wallstreet, and tested the origional and
replacement modem in a different Wallstreet. Both internal modems worked
fine, but not in my Powerbook. I went to a PC Card modem instead of
replacing the logic board. Works great for me.

Found a old Supra 56k Flex some time back, found the firmware updater and
flashed that one to V90 for a friend to use. He still uses it.

Not all PC Card modems are Mac compatable.

Zoom still makes new PC Card modems with CCL files for Mac in v90 and v92.

Earthlink has just upgraded their dial up in my area to support v92. One of
these days, I am going to try that.

Unless you want a new powerbook (perhaps? on the cheap 'cos everyone  
is "waiting" for Intel), if you have a PCCard slot, 56k PCCard modems  
are cheap, if you have a USB slot, USB modems aren't that bad.


YMMV.

modem port going, going.....

[Don]

I'm pretty sure the modem port on my Ti 400 is going. Anyone have a good
guess as to what it will cost to have it replaced? If the price is high
enough, it might just force me to get a new 'book!
