Michael, if the card is powered, and picking up the signal, I would
have thought that you could then use Network preferences to dial up
the Next G service - that is if the software given to you by Telstra
doesn't work. In other words, if you have a USB modem, there should
be a USB modem driver on your system that you can manually set up, if
the supplied software isn't working. The driver is all you really need.
I think there are other people on the list using this modem (I'm
still on the CDMA telstra modem which worked with both a G4 and
Macbook Pro). cheers, Susan.

I recently signed up with 3G for Broadband Mobile after being told
that it
is compatible with Apple laptops.
My G3 PowerBook 400 (Firewire)( OS 10.4.10, 640mb ram) will power
the Mobile
Broadband Card and the Card flashes blue (apparently an indication
that the
card detects UMTS service), but the computer won't detect the card.
The Card is a Novatel Wireless HSPDA Modem.
It seems that the computer needs to accept Express Cards. Is there
a way
around the problem, other than ditching the PowerBook?
Thank you,
Michael Hawkins.
