Cant really fault the service and i very rarely get spam in my mail box which is nice aswell. Aol are great but the gui can iritate me sometimes. but all in all i love them both

i have joined macace with pay as you go, they have sent me all the details to do all my internet settings but i am having problems getting a ppp conection, the diagram they have sent me is for mac os 9, is there any chance you can let me know the correct setting for mac osx.....thanks...colin

NTL's daughter Cablecom here in Switzerland. 600 kpbs cable access. Has been great since the beginning. You don't need Mac software, usually, if it's ADSL or cable.

The settings will be the same on OSX as they are for OS9. Go into Internet in System Prefs and make sure Internal Modem is selected. Then plug your PPP and TCP settings in.

I have Road Runner with a Linksys Wireless G router. When I hook up my Powerbook G3 directly to the Cable Modem it works great (via ethernet). When I use the router with wireless it works great. When I use ethernet on the router with my work laptop (Dell - I know its not my fault) the ethernet works fine. When I try using ethernet through the router for my Powerbook it s doens't. Ive even reinstalled the OS 3 times. Used 10.2 10.3 and 9.2. Do you think the router and ethernet not working is an isp thing?

I use Demon for my DSL in the UK. I also use a netgear wireless modem router, but you can get Demon to supply a Mac only USB modem.

I'm in the UK and I use Pipex ADSL and have never had a problem with it.

I used a Windows XP machine prior to my iMac and when I switched, all I did was print off the instructions on Pipex's website for installing the supplied modem on OS X with no problems at all.

The modem I got with them is an Alcatel SpeedTouch 330 which comes with Windows and OS 9/X drivers.
