Default Modem Questions

How would I know that the mac I am using is not valid/not working anymore? What would it say on the 192 page? (I know I won't be able to get online)

How would I know what the original speed of my mac is?

Thanks

If that mac is not working anymore you will probs be took to the Activation page

or it will be refused by CMT (sumthing like that)


also the speed of your mac is underlined by the config so for eg..

rts22.cm - 20MB down 768k up
bas.cm - 10MB down 512k up
rts98.cm - 2MB down 256k up


just have to read the configs and you will sus them out hope this helps..

When your sniffing for macs, you'll be able to see the configs (bootfiles)

There's a sticky at the top of the forum that has a list that tells you what the configs speeds are.

It doesn't give me the mac's config file as its encrypted, it gives me "9834ncxv9873254k;fg87ds" in file name.

Try to bruteforce for macs, you should still get some with unencrypted configs.
