MacBookPro External Modem
By Gouglas Johnson*****
his modem works very well. I needed a way to send and receive faxes from home with my MacBook and it does exactly what I needed. Easy to use and error free.
Apple External Modem Review
By Sandy Eggo*****
This modem works great. Total plug and play. Now that some genius at Apple decided we no longer need a phone connector, this really fills the need if you have to send a real fax.
Apple USB modem works great
By Mac User****
This modem worked great out of the box (bag?). I took a chance that this cute little match to my new MacBook w/Intel processor would work well, as the reviews seemed to be 50/50. So far so good. Yes, some of us still have only slow dial-up. The MacBook processor is fast, so surfing is faster than on my G4 tower and its internal modem. Speaking of which, it would’ve been nice if an internal modem had come with MacBook or if the USB type had been half the price, but other than that, no complaints.
easy install, easy setup, slow to negotiate connection, crashed my Mac
By Michael Wilsker***
I purchased this item to use with my 15″ MacBook Pro while traveling in Brazil. Installation was effortless; MacOS 10.5.2 automatically added it as a network interface. Configuration was similar: Simply enter the username, password, phone number. Initially I had issues with the connection dropping every 5-7 mins, and Aqua would freeze, requiring a hard reboot. Searching on Apple’s website (in 5-7 minute blocks) yielded many people complaining of the same problem. I tried a number of solutions, including changing USB ports, unplugging the power, changing phone cables, etc. Some combination of these (I don’t recall exactly which, but I think it was “unplug power and use USB port next to the power connector”) resolved the issue and I was able to connect for several hours without problem.
