Re: seemingly, a solution to Mac OS X 10.2 and Telstra Cable (Broadband) problem
Why Telstra lust haven't paid Jamie Curmie a license for this and just included it on their set-up disks is a complete mystery. My guess is that they would have wanted to take intellectual rights and charge users for it and that he found this unacceptable? Given that they don't even offer info about it on their own site or through their call center would seem to suggest that they are either deliberately ignoring it or stupid but that's just my personal opinion actually my strictly personal, and in no way associated with my place of employment, or my professional qualifications, opinion is the "stupid" option but I have no evidence apart from irrational loathing born of experience to back this up. -- ~ Mark Secker [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph#9380 1855 (ECEL) ECEL Computer Support Officer, University of Western Australia.

(since its inception) I can vouch for this excellent little utility. It has never failed me, is as solid as a rock, and rich in features, even to the point of telling you on-screen how much you owe Telstra when you exceed your monthly download limit (well, it's not pleasant information but very handy).

seemingly, a solution to Mac OS X 10.2 and Telstra Cable (Broadband) problem
seemingly a solution to Mac OS X 10.2 and Telstra Cable (Broadband) problem I queried about a week ago: thanks to those who assisted with this. the solution seems to be to use a 3rd party "donationware" program called "Launch!" have not given it a long term whirl but after 2 hours of testing including large downloads, rebooting, reconnecting etc we encountered no problems. Version 2.2 of Launch! is available: from developer http://users.bigpond.net.au/jcurmi/software/mac/launch/index.html via version-tracker <http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/13015> or <ftp://talent.ecel.uwa.edu.au/talent/public/Mac%20OS%20X/bigpondlaunch/> -- ~ Mark Secker [EMAIL PROTECTED] ph#9380 1855 (ECEL) ECEL Computer Support Officer, University of Western Australia.
