Free modem speed software for mac

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.

QTSpeed 1.0 is considered as a helpful tool which is designed for PowerBook users who have, say, an Ethernet connection at the office but a modem connection while on the road.

QuickTime can download media that is optimized for a given bandwidth, based on the speed that you have selected in the QuickTime Control Panel. Now, with the QTSpeed LMM you can configure QuickTime's Connection Speed setting along with your other Location settings.

Disk Speed Bench X is a benchmark utility, which shows you your transferespeed of your Disks or other Volumes.
Enhancements:
- Supports Harddisks and other Volumes.

Speed Freak, at a user-specified interval, reprioritizes applications so that the frontmost (or active) application gets more processor time than background applications. By default in Mac OS X, all processes have equal priority.
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.

Requirements: Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

This is a basic improvement of the Sprint PCS Vision connection script, with optimizations for EV-DO devices. It is meant for USB and Bluetooth 2.0 high-speed connections.
This modem script is for all EV-DO phones on all EV-DO carriers (Verizon Wireless, Sprint PCS, Alltel, etc). While we cant test every EV-DO phone, it should work with the vast majority of devices. The PCS Intel EV-DO Modem Script removes key bottlenecks that prevented the ability to use your phone as a modem at full speed.
This script is only necessary for users who connect with their phone as a modem. We only suggest using it with USB and Bluetooth 2.0 connections. If you are connecting with a Bluetooth 1 phone or Mac, please continue to use the Sprint PCS Vision modem script.
Enhancements:
- Initial Release.
