Hey Will,
Thanks. I thought there would be at least a few people here who had a GV
USB modem and were using X. Oh well for now I guess. But I had tried
everything including your suggestion earlier to change the order, which
unfortunately didn't work either. So yesterday I picked up a 56k Zoom
serial modem. Connection was instantaneous. Here's where it might throw
you (and others) for a loop relating to your suggestions.
The Serial Modem will ONLY work if I have the port set to, OK, 'USB Modem'.
It will NOT work with Printer or Modem port selected. Hey Will, what can I
say? It's my job to throw the curves. :) Although obviously it's using the
modem port, I think it's just the name issue.
Are you saying you get a USB port showing up in Network port Configuring? I don't get that at all on my machine odd. or Your using a Serial port script for your USB modem? Glad it works at any rate. Different ISP's use different software so this often accounts for different modems working better then others.
I still hope to figure out the GV modem issue for my second system but it'sReceived this reply form XPFacto forum:
not a high priority any more now that I can reach the world again.
Interestingly, the Zoom consistently connects a little bit faster than the
GV so I'm happy there.
"Try these scripts, place in /library/Modem Scripts GV Universal (57.6K) GV Universal (115K)
They can be found on the Global Village web site or you can try my iDisk sit;

I couldn't find these on the Global Village website . So nice of him to post on his web page. The 57.6 file downloads fine but the 115K files gives a page missing error. I've not seen these files any where else.
I've updated to 10.2.8 w/o a hitch and no Ram problems. Thanks Ryan (If
you're out there) for making all this possible! Even though I've got a G4
Sonnet, X is a little slow at 400 mhz but passable. I look forward to
finding ways to speeding things up a bit. I actually haven't installed the
Sonnet software yet so that will make a difference I'm sure. I can't
remember what the verdict was re using Sonnet over other apps when using X?
I'm all ears on suggestions with this.
The Iogear 5-port card is working great and that was a great price at $20
Shipped. Thanks
Dave
I recommend you use the Cache Control X 2.1 b4 Powerlogix software. It's free, lets you over clock a bit if you want and turns off soldiered on motherboard cache. It speeds up things a lot! "CPU Director" from Powerlogix also works but may not turn off motherboard cache and doesn't show cpu temp like Cache control X.
Sorry for the Off Topic posts but thought it maybe of use to some. Will S
