[QUOTE="bungee2000, post: 23423"] I have had this problem for a long time now in my older G3 tower and now the new G5. The G3 did not have a modem built in and had a USB isdn connection, which I thought to be the culprit, but another model different manufacturer does exactly the same. And only a restart will shift it. We have another solution that works for us and it retains the 56K (actually 53K) potential connection speed. We found this solution on a forum/list somewhere last year. First note that there are two Modem Scripts folders, one in in the root Library folder and another in the System->Library folder. The latter only has the three Apple Internal 56K Modem scripts for v.34, v.90 and v.92. The former has many modem scripts, including the very same three Apple Internal 56K Modem scripts for v.34, v.90 and v.92. The solution that works for us is: 1. Make another folder at the drive's root level (we named it "ExtraModemScripts"), 2. Move the three scripts from the Library->Modem Scripts folder (not the System->Library->Mdeom Scripts folder) to the new folder, 3. Reboot, 4. Reselect the Apple Internal 56K Modem (v.90) script in the System Preferences Networking preference panel under the Modem tab and click the "Apply" button. If the (v.90) is already selected, then select another, click "Apply", reselect it and hit "Apply". Try it, it worked for us on every Mac OS X update, including 10.2.5. The just-released 10.2.6 does not install new modem scripts.[/QUOTE] [/QUOTE]
