boeing747 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 help, i'm trying to install the sagem fast800 modem which came with talktalk broadband. i used the install package from sagem's website, it all went fine then when it asked me to connect the modem to the usb port, i did but after the reboot, my pc don't recognise my modem, and when i connect the modem the drive always says the modem is unplugged, so i can't connect to the internet . i tried all my usb ports with my mp3player and os x recognises it. what's the problem?

Rammjet Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I downloaded the driver. It was created in the middle of 2005 - before Intel Mac's existed. This driver works only on PPC Macs. See if you can get an ethernet modem. They are problem free and require no special driver on any OS or system.

boeing747 Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 oh right, i also have a bt voyager 105, which uses usb. i downloaded the drive from bt, it is a .sit file (should it be .dmg?) when i boot into os x it doesn't recognise this. is there a way of getting this modem working?

Rammjet Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 .sit is a Stuffit file. Download the free expander here: http://www.stuffit.com/downloads/files/StuffItExpander11.dmg However, it makes me suspicious that these are old drivers too and may not work on Intel OSX or a Hackintosh. Edit: the package was created in April 2004 - well before an Intel Mac was created.
