    Hi All!

    I'm away from home and only have access to dial-up. The problem is, I can't get my Apple USB modem to work. My second problem is that I can't seem to locate the driver package anywhere online. Could anybody point me to where I could download the leopard drivers for the modem so I can try reinstalling them?

    Any other suggestions would also be appreciated. I can dial out, but the modem will not negotiate a connection with the remote server. Every other machine in the house will do it, as will my USR external modem attached to my macbook. So its not a server side issue.

    Thanks.

    The Apple USB Modem drivers are pre-installed in Mac OS X, so it is probably not a driver problem.

    Have you tried using the modem with another computer or in Boot Camp?

    No. I have not tried that. Where can I download Vista drivers, and I'll try it on a PC here at my dad's house.

    Thanks.

    It's either on the Leopard disc, part of the Boot Camp drivers.
