Hi,

has anyone manage to get their Merlin XU870 to work with Leopard?

In Tiger there always a field to enter telephone number under System Preferences -> Network. But in Leopard there is only Account Name and Password :(

Can anyone please help?

Thanks

I have this card and am using it now under Leopard. I don't think you need to, but I did instal the drivers from the Novatel web site. Go to System Preferences, then click on Network. Your Novatel Modem should show up on the lefthand. When you click on it you enter the username and password relevant to your provider. Check out: http://www.taniwha.org.uk/gprs.html

Click on the advanced button and there you can enter the APN. This is not a telephone number, more like a web address. Info on the above link.

Hope this helps.
