Apple Modem Updater 2.0 is renowned as a reliable and useful Updater which will update modems in the PowerBook G3 Series, iMac, Power Macintosh G3 (Blue and White), and Power Macintosh G4 (PCI and AGP) computers.
The updater installs version 2.3 of the Conexant firmware which contains the latest versions of both the V.90 and the K56flex protocols. The modems can use either the K56flex or V.90 protocols and will automatically negotiate with the service provider to use the appropriate one.
After you have updated the modem you may notice that the connection speed that is reported when you first establish a connection may be lower than it was prior to the upgrade, however the modem throughput will be at least as good and often better than before the upgrade. Throughput is the measure of how quickly a certain amount of data is transferred from one modem to another. It is important to remember that the connection speed that is reported is only the initial connection speed. The modems will adjust their communications speed as line conditions require. A faster connection speed does not necessarily indicate a higher throughput, factors like resending data due to noise on the phone lines will lower overall throughput.

Ricochet Modem Scripts 1.0
Ricochet Modem Scripts - Modem scripts for Ricochet modems more>>
The advantages of these scripts over the Ricochet script provided by Apple are:
The 128k version sets the serial port to maximum speed, which is 230400 bps.
Disconnect (hangup) is faster
The 28k version can even reset the modem at the beginning of a call when it is still online from a previous connection (which can happen if your computer had crashes and was hard-reset). This could probably work in the 128k script, too, but I did not find the time to implement and test that yet. Let me know if you need that feature for the new modem, too.

Speed Freak 2.8
Speed Freak - Optimize front & background process performance more>>
By using Speed Freak, you override this default by increasing the priority of whatever application you are currently using, resulting in faster application performance. Speed Freak accomplishes this through the Unix renice command.
Speed Freak will not affect graphics card performance and will show little to no increase in 3D games. Although Speed Freak does not affect network performance, the increased CPU priority it offers should increase performance in internet applications. For example, web pages with complicated HTML should render faster but download speed will not change.
For more information, see the included ReadMe document in the download.
Enhancements:
- Fixes a problem with the Japanese environment.

HELIOS File System Test UB is a potential and easy to use tool which can test file server compatibility.
Every Macintosh user or system administrator can easily verify in a quick and reliable way if their file server is fully compatible with Mac OS X clients. The HELIOS File System Test can examine AFP, NFS, SMB/CIFS, and WebDAV network connections. The 11 tests check for the support of file sizes exceeding 4 GB, long file names, UTF-8 compatibility, correct file access rights, as well as the consistent use of file/directory IDs. If a server fails any tests, a detailed error message explains the issues.
