Hey y'all. I know we had some discussion about this previously but I just can't locate it and I'm paying cash euros for online access here in Lucca! Tried to buy Vodaphone's USB key today. They gave me, and I downloaded, the Vodaphone connect software but soemthing still seems to be missing. The V'phone software doesn't recgnize my Mac and my Mac (running Leopard) doesnt rec. the modem. There's only one V'phone modem choice in the advanced setup pane under network settings doenst seem the right one. Any suggestions where to look or what to do would be most appreciated! I'll check back in the morning! Grazie!--Louise

Well! I'm answering my own question here. Several issues seem to be involved : 1.the software/drivers downloaded at the Vodaphone office may not have been the very latest version. I went online at a cafe later and redownloaded the installer. Next day, the setup worked perfectly. 2. I ended up w/the Vodaphone Box rather then the key...both are USB devices, but the"Box" had Mac mentioned specifically on back of the package, whereas the key did not. 3. There are specific settings in the "Advanced" pane that I had to figure out on my own via trial and error, but approached logiacally, it wasnt hard.
So far very happy with performance here in Lucca Centro. Uploads are a bit slow but nothing horrendous. I'm happy to talk to anyone who needs advice on this. Best to all, Louise
