Yeah i am on 10.6 (snow leopard) works good for me. you need to get the updated mobile connect. I use the huawei ec226 . the huawei update software is here --- < http://www.huaweidevice.com/resource/mini/200910149695/testmobile1014/index.... .> download and run the first 2 softwares -- the first updates your modem and the second installs an updated 'mobile connect' software on your mac. connect the modem to your mac run the 1st software from that link -- it will prompt you for a location -- point it to the volume where the modem is mounted. use the mobile connect from the 2nd link.

Speeds are fairly good ... its much more stable than the erratic safcom 3g connection i had before... skype video works really well compared to safcom. ashok

the costs? -- with Regards: Why you should not mind your own business, Find out at: http://gramware.blogspot.com

@Ashok, welcome to Orange EVDO. I've been using it for months now and its been 98% stable. Now if only Orange would co-sponser some important skunks events this year, we un-intentionally give them so much good publicity on this list. :-) On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 12:36 PM, <ashok+skunkworks@parliaments.info<ashok%2Bskunkworks@parliaments.info>

The modem has been on offer 2k, not sure if it is still running. Orange doesn't have an unlimited data package. At least on the modems. On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 17:09, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

Orange Used to have unlimited broadband package a which u can top up with the 10K Turbo card per month. It has good speeds and does not have the fair usage policy like the new packages... or something like that. Supports 15 computers in the office comfortably. The only way you can get it is to buy the account from someone who already has it and wants to do away with it. It uses huwaei EC266 Modem but is RUIMLESS.
