Internet connection

[terlga]

I am running OS X .3 on a G4, my server is BT internet and I am using an Alcatel Speedtouch
USB broadband modem. Occasionaly when on the internet and using Safari changing from one web page to another it will freeze, if I try Netscape or IE Explorer nothing moves, although the
computer itself behaves normally, to solve this I have to remove the modem usb plug and re-insert it, wait for it to cinque up and then re-connect. I have zeroed all data and re-installed the
software, also installed the latest modem drivers, but still have this problem, I think since I installed Panther. Has anyone else come across this problem? or does anyone know the cause and solution?

Does your modem have an ethernet port, too? If so, you might try using that instead of the USB port... Then you won't need drivers.

I think the standard BT "shark" broadband modems are USB only, which sucks

If so, and depending on the rental charge, it might make sense to buy your own (if BT will let you).
