Modem Scripts

[lowededwookie]

If you're like me and use a cellphone connected to your Mac then this site might be useful.

It contains modem scripts that can at times be better than the ones that come with MacOS X as well as those not supported directly.

I recently upgraded my phone to a Motorola V550 but I couldn't get it to work as a modem. This site had a set of Motorola modem scripts for connecting to GPRS and now my phone works brilliantly.

Macs are gay, mainly because they are expensive and I cannot afford such a fine piece of machinery (paradox? hypocrisy? you choose)

But nice link :)

Actually the cost of a Mac today is quite comparable to a PC. I'd have said yes a couple of years ago (based on initial costs of course) but these days iBooks are below $2000(NZ), Mac Minis are just above $1000(NZ) so they do hang up well against the PCs.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, don't compare brand name PC's (Dell, HP etc) with macs when talking price comparison. Build your own box with decent parts, then compare THAT to the equivelant mac. The prices will not be all that different. They're both "more expensive" boxes, and both share the exact same reason why. Quality parts with well thought out reasons. No bottlenecks and el-cheapo shit that Dell etc put into their boxen.
