FYI After a good deal of mucking around, my connection with iinet
is up and zooming. At 256k a 10Mb file took around 12 minutes to
download.
Iinet have had some major problems with Mac connections and after my
initial attempts at connection they suggested I bring the modem back
in to have it re-configured for OS8.6. This done, I once again
attempted connection and authorization of the account....no go!
each time i connected the DSL300 modem my browser experienced long
delays at every move. I decided to go for the $80. home installation
today. The man was quite lost with the browser problem and after
rescripting the modem etc etc he loaded software onto the iMac
instead of to the modem. It would seem that I will probably not be
charged the home setup fee due to the modem problems.
So, it is working very nicely. He was able to navigate around the
Mac reasonably well but did say that everyone at iinet was more
supportive of the Windows environment and probably hadn't the time to
get really well acquainted with the 5% of their market. Another
factor he mentioned was that Macs generally do run better and demand
less attention.
Never-the-less I am a satisfied iinet customer and have had a
couple of years of good telephone support when needed.
