IBURST UTD Modems From Australia!!

[Proton]

Hey there Guys

I bought 2 x Iburst modems from Australia and Im trying to get these things working here but they dont pick up signal...

So what I found out only after I had bought them is that Iburst Australia and South Africa is running on two different Frequencies... and Iburst SA says that I cant use these here.. well there must be a way to do it or to change the frequencies on these things... I just need the right guy to help me.. there must be someone that knows more about these things than Iburst SA , lol


Please guys, If anyone can help, I would realy appriciate it..

thanks

AFAIK

AUS iBurst UTD will work here with some modifications.

iBurst uses proprietary technology, the modems are single-source i.e. made in Japan. Unless that changes there will not likely be a second-source for iBurst hardware."

Hmm, interesting. I wonder how iBurst would feel if someone started importing units.

Probably the same thing that m-web tried to do to me 7 years ago when I created an unlocking firmware for their R99 big black box modems. They gave up eventually as they don't have the brains to argue against me.

What I did was I bought a Rockwell modem with an identical PC board from the States, made a copy of it's EPROM with an EPROM programmer, burned that into a blank chip and retrofitted it to big-black-box modem and voila, it works on any ISP.

First they tried to glue the chip to the board, all I did was desolder the EPROM's socket from the bottom and pulled the chip off with pliers, put new IC socket and off I went. Then they put potting compound on top of the EPROM which I then simply cut the chip off with a Dremel tool and replaced socket and put new chip. Eventually they just gave up!"

so it must be possible
