Telkom software?

[Merlin]

Hi,

I have taken over the IT work for a friend of mine, who happens to be a real novice with all things IT.

Her old "PC guy" installed the software for her Telkom 3G on her old laptop (dead as of yesterday).

Where do I find the software on the Telkom 'site in order to get it working again please?

She has no CD for the software, and I can't find anything on the 'site.

Thanks, Nic

The software is embedded on the router or modem. Just plug in and it will install.

Thanks everyone. :)

I managed to find an old copy of the software hidden on the HDD which I managed to recover.

...but it was all to no avail as the old modem was not compatible with the new notebook anyways. Haha.

Cheers.

What type of modem is it?

[Merlin]

It's an old Vodacom 3G card.

I don't much about these things.

It's a long flat thing which slides into a slot in the notebook.

Why do you ask? :)

Stay away from those modems (PCMCIA type 3G cards)

I had very bed experience with them.

Rather see if you can get a nice USB type 3G modem (for example E220 or E180 or K3565).

My friend upgraded to a USB modem. :)
