| Cool features with the 5260 and Enternet 1.5a Im not sure if anyone has seen these before but figure I would post them anyway. I never saw these tabs before I got the Efficient 5260. They showed up once Enternet 1.5a detected the 5260 modem. I know 1.5a is not released yet by SBC/Ameritech. I bought it directly from efficient to try and hopefully resolve some of my earlier issues.
Here are the links to the screen shots of the tabs i took captures of.

The second tab even has an update modem to update software and auto discovery of the VPI/VCI. If you have already seen this my apologies but I never heard or read of these features and thought I would share them with you.

Re: Cool features with the 5260 and Enternet 1.5a Good post I didn't know you could do that. Though it will only do that for the Efficient Network products I believe, because Efficient Networks writes the Enternet 300 software. Awww... When did you buy the Enternet version 1.5a? I heard that Ameritech has Efficient v1.5a available somewhere on their start page now. I don't know if it's true or not. You have to login with an Ameritech account at www.ameritech.net.

| Its not available yet that I know of. I looked after your post too. I even gave a couple copies to the two techs they rolled to my house in thee last month to troubleshoot my problems. I bought they software for like 25-30 dollars to see if it might fix the problems - was having for the past 2-3 months. It is more stable and less of a resource hog and more compatible with ME and 2K. Well I didn,t buy it at least. I expensed it back on my Ameritech Credit Card as they pay home phone bill as well for work purposes. 
I bought version 1.5 in February and got the free upgrade to 1.5a in the first week of May.

Berwyn, IL | Thanks for the info MarshaJ773 and the link. I was explaining that I could not find the software on Ameritechs website in response to his earlier question. I have already bought the software.

ASI Techs should receive the latest copy of Enternet 300 (v1.5a) very soon if they have not yet received it. SBC should begin shipping an updated version of the SBC Express CD that contains the new version of Enternet 300. There is also an updated version for Macintosh (v1.2?) on the ASI disc. |

I called Ameritech Customer-Self Install dept to make sure I had the right link and told them I had to reinstall everything in my PC and wanted to know what the download site is they told me to go to this link instead of going to www.efficient.com. They said Ameritech customers have to have use the username: dslsoft and the password: driver , but that SBIS, NBI, and PBI customers should just enter their username and password in. Sure enough it works. They said they it's for registered and unregistered customers. Though the new version 1.5a won't be on hard copy until Mid-July.

| I read your thread about Enternet300 V1.5 went straight to link and downloaded. Read installation instructions very carefully I thought. Rebooted everything connected ok but I can't seem to come up with the dsl modem tabs. Your suppose to right click icon and click advanced. Nothing. I tried uninstalling version 1.4 then 1.5 still no dsl tabs. Is this because I'm running with a usb modem instead of with the ethernet modem? I have a 3Com Fast Etherlink 10/100 PCI 3C905C-TX installed in my PC. Would I be better off using it to connect with possibly some other software. or could I use Enternet300. I'm fairly new at all this and would appreciate any thoughts. Would I have to get a different modem? Ethernet?
I have Win 98SE
Speedstream 4060
My speed is: »/speedtests/64···e7c4;1.1
My tweak looks worse now than it did 15 min. ago:
»monitor.dslreports.com/tweak/blo···enternet
Haven't been able to line test for 2 days so many queried up.
Maybe better leaving everything way it is. Like don't mess with a good thing?
Like I said any thoughts would be appreciated.

Chicago, IL | The features are only possible with the 5260 and Enternet 1.5a.
Your USB modem will not show the advanced features, since it is not the 5260. You would need this modem to begin with.

Racine, WI | I contacted Ameritech to see about getting the Ethernet modem and haven't got a reply yet. I've only had 4060 about 6 months. Would my price for one through Ameritech be cheaper than say like on e-bay. Or does anyone have a suggestion of one that is comparible to the 5260. Then could I use my 3Com to connect. Or do you think I'm better off sticking with Enternet. I really haven't had all that bad of luck with it.

Morton Grove, IL | What's the old saying...'If things aren't broke, don't fix'.But this is a tough one...I really like the external modem! I like the ability to use a router and all the advantages it gives...Always on, add extra PCs, more stable connection,security...etc...But, the again never used a USB type modem, some have had problems, but most are pleased...I guess it's up to you...I'm sure A'tech will give you an external modem, with the right story...Then you'll need a NIC, which should come with the modem...And really the only reason to change is to set up a router...Good Luck...;)

The 4060 USB has it's own advanced info tabs on it's drivers. You ctl-alt-a to get at them from the driver icon. See Jan Janowski's excellent description in the forum FAQ or in this thread. |

Racine, WI | I already read that thread and used the information. Was just wandering about specific DSL tabs that are suppose to be in advanced info on Enternet300 icon. The index views explanation of them, but I didn't have them. Checked profile settings and saw I was using V1.5. I'm wandering if I should use V1.5 anyway even though I don't have 5260 modem. Any thoughts on that?

join:2000-05-11 | Not sure what other benefits go along with 1.5a but the new status tabs are only for the 526x Efficient modem. They are evidently integrating the status access into Enternet300 for their products that don't provide it otherwise (like the 4060 does). |

Racine, WI | I think as long as it's not causing any conflicts I'll just leave it installed. Hopefully ameritech will contact me about the 5260 soon and I'll get it. |

!.5b According to the efficent web site enternet 1.5b was released in 8/06/2001. Anybody has any first hand knowledge of the product or where to get it? |

enternet 1.6 there is a enternet 1.6 availible. it adds a personal firewall. the dsl modem tabs are still there. I seems to use more if the computer's resoures. if you search for it it will come up. one seems to be able to downloaded overseas. don't know why maybe copyright issues. also it looks like it was release around the same time as 1.5 so maybe it was release concurrently, to give users the chocie of firewall or not. I really don't know how good the firewall is |
