hay all, i'm a UK Tiscali internet user. Doing some searching found that ALOT of people are having problems connecting to tiscali with the given USB modem. I have finally fixed it. Here's my how to:

First up you need either Tiger or leopard. This guide is for leopard, but tiger users will find it helpful.

If you have tiger you already have this applciation called "Internet Connect.app". Leopard removed this app and bundled it with the network preference plane.

you can get this from http://lgsagem.free.fr/Telechargement/DriverFast800/Macintosh/Internet%20Connect.app.zip

Next up is the actual drivers for the f@st 800 modem. These are found at http://lgsagem.free.fr/Telechargement/DriverFast800/Macintosh/fast800_MacIntel_v4.0.5.dmg

If you use leopard you NEED to drag the internet connect.app application to the application folder as the driver installation program needs this.

Run the application inside the fast800_MacIntel_v4.0.5.dmg image. Choose the default settings.

You should have a new application on your desktop called "Eagle Monitor". This is used to monitor the DSL line. So plug in your f@st modem and wait until it sync's with your phone line. (I had to change the configuration, this is what i used)

ATM Channel VPI: 0
ATM Channel VCI: 38
Encapsulation type: PPPoA LLC

I had to restart my mac to save these changes.

Head over to the network pref plane. You should see a new Ethernel en2 device.

Set this to "using DHCP".

Now then, on the left is a list of devices. Click the little + at the bottom and use these settings

Interface: PPPoE
Ethernet: Ethernet Adaptor (en2)
Service Name: Tiscali

With this new conenction set the Account name to your username and password to your password.

All should work now.
 
Tnx m8

10.5.2 crashes when usb plugged in

I have a macbook pro (intel) 10.5.2

I've followed the above instuctions and everything installs ok. But...

When i plug the USB cable in for the sagem fast 800 modem after a few seconds I get the black wipe screen of death, that says i have to resart
Looking at the crash details there is mention of 'kernel', and asdlusb. No idea what this means. Do i need to update my usb drivers that might be conflicting with the modem?

Has anyone had a similar problems when trying to install the sagem 800 on leopard with this driver?

I ended up with the same screen, I had to restart the computer after unplugging the modem, remove the usb. The report showed a kernel trap, does anyone know how to solve this conflict.

I've found something. Open the eagle monitor before connecting the modem. Then connect the modem without the telephone line wire. When you get the message modem is initializing, then plug in the phone line wire. It worked for me. Good luck.
 
Leopard, Sagem F@ST 800 - Start-Up Sequence

Hi Guys

Many thanks for the posts - found Kourepai's comments the most useful although I have found out that the Eagle Monitor is not required. The inbuilt PPPoE facilities are sufficient after you have installed the driver. The right sequence is therefore (thanks again Kourepai):
- Plug in USB cable into Mac
- Put USB cable into modem
- When it starts initializing plug in telephone cable
- Go to your network preferences or PPPoE shortcut to sign on with your provider
- Happy surfing!
 
Leopard, Scarlet, Sagem F@ST 800 - How to

Dotty,

Thanks a lot.

I did inherit the Sagem Fast 800 modem from time before Scarlet took over Tiscali Belgium.

A little bugger it is.

But your findings helped me a lot. I got it working with Leopard.
A few minor changes though (which I guess are typical for the provider):

  • I left the encapsulation blank
  • ATM channel VPI = 8
  • ATM CHANNEL VCI = 35
  • Encapsulation type =PPoA VC

This is all fine though there is big BUT:

My Leopard crashes (panic dumps) @ startup.
The culprit is ADSL USB, this thus the Sagem F@st 800 thing.

Apparantly the way around this is not very practical but it works:

I unplug the F@st 800 from USB, boot, sign in, wait a little time and then plug it in. Once it is well up and running I fire up my PPoE connection.

It does not matter where I plug my modem into. I used to plug it into my McAlly USB 1.1 Hub. I thought that all devices compete for bandwidth since startup time this would cause the panic dumps. So I decided to move it straight to back of the iMac on an USB 2 port. But to no avail. It still crashed but not so often...

Once it works I can say that the connection can be quoted as good (Sometimes I get to +/ 3,4 Mb/s download transfer) and fairly stable.

I am using an iMac 2,4 GHz intel Core 2 Duo running Os X 10.5.6.
The Sagem F@st 800 has driver 4.0.8, Monitor 1.1, Firmware 0x44E2EA16 and Hardware 0x500B.

For the smart amongst us I add the contents of the panic dump:

Is here anyone who can read, understand and interpret correctly what this dump wants to tell me?

My guess is: I need another version of the driver that is more suitable to Leopard.

Thanks for all the help so far and to come!

Greetings,

found a solution! ^_^

hi to every leopard user!
Thanks to your posts i learned the way to fix the problem..
just follow these steps:
1-before connecting the usb open network in pref-panel
2-click on your connection (mine is ppoe service but i renamed it)
3-save preferences (lock the padlock)
4-after saving preferncese connect the usb to your mac!
i don' t know why everytime a turn on my mac the preferences are not saved i mean the padlock is open..well i finally understand that before connecting the usb i have to lock the padlock (everytime i find it open) and after doing this the usb works fine!!
also connecting and disconnecting it several times!

I really hope it works for you too! bye bye!:)
 
well...i tried it today...and it started having problems again...so...tomorrow i'll change modem with ethernet...!
 
Hi, has anyone had any luck with this yet? I'm having the same problem and it's driving me nuts. I get the reboot screen every time I plug in the usb modem and when i turn my Mac on. What did you mean by ethernet modem by the way? Will that help? Thanks.

It's a modem that uses ethernet connection instead of usb connection.
You don't need driver to install and automatically configures connection.
I plugged in the cable and i was on the net...i couldn't believe it..:eek:
i use netgear adsl2 modem..it's perfect.
 
me too

I have the same problem. It seems to be resolved by selecting the correct rate (0/38 PPPoA LLC) when installing (don't use the default setting).

Still, I have to unplug the modem at startup, and plug it in later. If that causes crash for you, then unplug, restart and reinstall.
