Something to remember...

The internal GI/Motorola modems are an ISA card. I cant think of a single OEM. Motherboard Mfgr that has an ISA slot on their products of the last 2 years.

If your going to purchase a 1way setup, find a used/new SB3100d or Sb1100d. Those would both work quite nicely and give you the least amounts of headaches.

Agreed....now imagine a laboratory with instrumentation...all the interface cards to the IR's GC's etc are ISA, and they don't make a PCI version of the interface (to make you buy a new $50,000 instrument of course)....belch...supporting ISA is becoming a nightmare.

Taxes a are about $4 a month of this total. This is the same price they charge here for 2 way. Aside from the one way, two way difference, you also do not get all the digital channels- they are only available in the areas upgraded to two way, but you pay for them anyway. The dropped connections are from the phone line dropping. It will drop automatically with no activity, but even if you have it check email every five minutes or are in the middle of a download, it still will disconnect for no apparent reason throughout the day.

Not sure the drivers will work for your model or not, but I can email them if you want to try it. The drivers do not appear to be available on the USR site anymore, and Adelphia took them down after they bought GS Communications. It is amazing that the remote parts of the county have 2 way service but not this very developed part of the city. You will find the one way service still beats pure dial up, at least when it works. It is hard to maintain the connection for more than a few hours- we have to reconnect 10-20 times a day. The really sad part is you pay the same price for one way and two way service.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,4433454 Sun, 15 Sep 2002 18:42:49 EDT Re: 1 way cable modem...my only option. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,4422195 Frankie2toneD : yeah they offer it all over frederick...but certain areas they havnt upgraded the equipment since they bought it from gs communications.......they been saying the are in the process of upgrading....or at least the corporta adel says that....then u call local and they say no were not upgrading for a while....its a crock....any way it is offerd in frederick..]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,4422195 Sat, 14 Sep 2002 11:32:32 EDT Re: 1 way cable modem...my only option. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,4412718 machpost : Do they offer 2-way Power Link anywhere in Frederick?

I have had the one way for over three years now. During that time they have been less than honest with schedule for 2-way rollout. I live in a brand new section of the city, but no 2 way yet. Each time I call, for three years, I have been told "only a few more months." They have reached the point where it is difficult to believe anything they say. The one way modem I have is a USR internal model that uses an ISA slot. The last drivers were released three years ago. I can't even upgrade my server since no drivers are available for NT, 2000 or XP. I share your frustration, but have not seen any alternatives other than satellite which has its own issues.

look for a modem...that doesnt even exist anymore and isnt in production.....they put me on a waiting list for 3 months to wait for some one else to give up there 1 way modem


I think you answered the question about the lack of modems in your area for Adelphia.

No one makes 1-way modems anymore, the only supply available is the existing, issued modems...

The service is available, but the modem isn't and they recommend you look for ways to procure your own modem if you want the service sooner than a possible 3 month wait.

Would you rather Adelphia tell you, sorry the service is not available at all? Then what would you say when you found out all that was needed to get service was the right modem? I think you would be a bit more pissed about that.

Wow that I have to admit is stupid if they have the service available they should have the modems to support the service, I would think.
Maybe if you set up a install appointment the installer would have it on the truck anyways I dont know I used to have the 1 way service for a month before the upgrade 2 years ago and it was pretty horrible, you may be better off sticking with Dial Up or checking on Sat Service.

At least with regards to surfboards. About the only place you can find them is on ebay. These modems (per motorola and GI) where not released for consumer sale, only for cable operators. If you find one, make sure you reset the defaults. It caused a lot of problems and made a lot of people here mad.

Make sure it has a "d" after the number designation (i.e. sb3100d) if you buy a surfboard. I was unable to find anything anwhere else.

Firstly what modem you can use would depend on which area you are in.
You can not use a 2 way modem and your dial up modem in any area.
You will be very lucky to find any one way modem "new". I don't think they make them any more.
My advice to you is to ask someone in your area who has the service what modem they are using and research it from there.

Can I lease a 2 way modem and use it on a 1 way system? I noticed most of the two way cable modems do not mention any dialup upstream.

Adelphia stated that they don't have any more 1 way cable modems to lease.
