Is anyone using a Motorola SB5100 cable modem successfuly with eCS-OS/2 and Comcast? I tried one last summer, after my old 3Com Sharkfin modem died, but it downloaded like a slug when used with eCS 1.1 or Warp 4 (1.5 meg DL speed, should have been 6 meg. I had no problem the one day a week I booted to Win98SE to keep my spyware and antivirus software updated, and browse sites with video OS/2-eCS didn't have a plugin for - 6 meg downloads.) I never got to try it with eCS 1.2. I replaced it with a D-Link DCM-202 modem. It downloads 6 meg with eCS (1.1 and 1.2), Warp 4, and Win98SE. The only problem with it is that some sites (cnn.com, maps.google.com among them) will only load after a reboot of eCS - try them later in the day, or the next day, and they don't load in any broswer (not Firefox, Mozilla, Seamonkey, Netscape, or Opera.) Having to reboot daily defeats the advantage of the stability of eCS. *adh* --- Msged/2 6.0.1* Origin: tncbbs.no-ip.com - Try the CROSSFIRE echo - all welcome (1:261/1000) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 5030/786 @PATH: 261/1000 10/3 106/2000 633/267 |
