Does anyone know if there is a Mac compatible (Mac OSX) usb-ethernet adapter that would work with a usb printer. The idea is to hook the printer to the ethernet port of the D-Link wireless router to use with our wireless notebooks. I can use a wireless usb print server, but I want to

There was a discussion the other day about ISPs for 56K, and Earthlink was mentioned several times. I experienced frustratingly frequent disconnections with them, though I'm not sure what was to blame for that. I've been using NetZero now, however, for several weeks and have had zero problems,

I like Earthlink because of SpamBlocker, which has been GREAT at catching spam before it gets to my Inbox on my dialup account. I don't use any Earthlink software at all, which means I had to enter all the names in my Address Book to their online site. It's been worth it.

You have to use their software only to dial up. After you're logged on, you can use the browser and e-mailer of your choice. Haven't had to use their service/tech support so I cannot comment. Am using it with OS9 and it works great, and I assume it works well with OSX as well but have no

I've been having problems with my graphite AirPort Base Station. I had to replace the 2 blown capacitors to make it work again. I'm not using it much since it is much faster to use built-in Ethernet when moving large files between my PowerBook and my Blue White (both at 100Mbps). Last weekend, I
