...well just put a question up on the Tom's forum about USB extension cables. I have a short one right now that works fine, but for some reason longer ones which while powering up the modem, will not send the signal back that it is ready giving me a "No Device" error.
I really would like to just stay with what I have if I can find a way to get the modem into a place where it is out of the ground shadow. There's a tall cabinet right next to my workstation which I could put it on that would definitely be high enough to get it above the ground level.

Worst case, you could pick up a cheap powered hub to use as a repeater kind of affair. Not as affordable, but probably effective for you.
:sourgrapes: went to my product library to check if my C7Pro had a 64-bit d/l, there is nooo manual d/l button. only DIM is an option. iz not encouraging to upgrade. neigh said the horsies

Are you sure? There should be a blue button (download) and a green button (download with DIM). Edit: OK, it looks as if C7 isn't downloadable at all - nothing on the Product Library page and it isn't in DIM.

100f now. Don't want to go outside.
...OK big Headdesk time (may even register on the seismograph down at the university in Eugene)..
For the last several months been using this short USB "Y" cable I found laying around to get as a much distance form the notebook I could for better RF performance. So this morning, while I have been researching USB extensions for my type of modem came across a PDF file that is the user guide for the modem I have (which I most likely stuck in a file drawer or box somewhere after installing the modem and programme). One of the components listed with the modem kit was a "Y" cable similar to the one I am using (which might be the actual one that came with the modem). Pretty much thought the other lead maybe was for connecting to a hub or other USB device so never used it. Well turns out it is a power boosting lead that according to the manual "...provide(s) the modem up to 1 Amp of current for use in weaker signal areas".
So I plug it in and suddenly the lag and errors I kept getting in Gmail disappeared. When I clicked the ebot to open this thread, it took only a few moments rather than up to several minutes.
When I first installed the modem three years ago, never thought that little cable would be of much use which is why I probably forgot that I even had it.
...sheesh I can be such a luddite at times.
If this solves a number of my connection ills I won't have to deal with getting a longer extension or change to cable service. Will test later today to see how it handles downloading.

Oh, yeah, that makes total sense! USB can only draw 500 milliamps per port, so if the modem needs more to boost the signal it wouldn't be able to on one connector...

Morning. Sitting in our garden watching the sky turn from dark grey to light. Think I hates winter. Spent yesterday on the Maribyronong river, comes through Melbourne's West. Rivers are OK, the Maribyrnong is quite picturesque . But all you can do is go up them and back down again, feels a little pointless. Ah well, nice day in the sun :o)
45 degrees Celsius?? i thought only the interior of Australia got that hot, not the coast. That is how hot my video card is when it idles. It goes up to 60 degrees C.
edit:
wait, is that temperature in Fahrenheit? I'm used to Australians using Celsius.

140 degree days in the centre aren't uncommon in southern Australian summers, average temps in West Australia are around 95
Olaf and the Giant Chicken, a Mock Epic Poem: Part One
Olaf, shamed and driven forth
Started hiking further North
Seeking a mead-hall brightly lit
Where he could drink and throw a fit
Forced from village, with great dislike
Caused by rampaging kilometer-long pike
Olaf carried but his axe and his gold
Everything else had ended up sold
Massive debts he had to pay
To all the villagers blown away.
Rumors they came to Olafs ears
Of villagers with some horrible fears
An evil beast with razor claw
That clucked as it would fill it maw
On peasants, nobles, warriors brave
It seemed that nothing they tried would save
The victims from becoming a dinner
Olaf thought "I could be the winner"
So onward through the snow he went
On fame and fortune, all thought was bent.
Olaf chased the rumors around
The village was nowhere to be found
He searched all Finland, Norway too
But there was little he could do
Then word came to him of shield-maiden fair
Who had gotten a powerful scare
From beaked monster in village gone
So Olaf got himself along
Thinking shield-maiden could lead the way
And Olaf could then win the day.
To deepest Russia did Olaf go
Braving bear and deepening snow
To fabled Vadistok, city of pearl
Did Olaf travel to find the girl
Ask he did, and sought her there
But she had vanished into thin air
"She headed West", one bar-man said
And then he sadly shook his head
"She's seeking vengeance, some do say,
She's quick with a sword, I'd stay away."
..to be continued..
hey wow great. Does OLaf meet Ivan Skavisnky Skovar?

Is now 105f outside. (scared face)
It might well hit the predicted 109f at this rate.
I'm going to go home, grabbing some beer on the way, and hide indoors. Worse, it's supposed to be this hot tomorrow!!
Might cool down into the upper 90s next week. (blank face)
To dinner I will go,
To dinner I will go.
Hi ho the derry-o
To dinner I will go.
Dead deep-fried bird in a basket!
Yum, yum! : )
I'm having fake Mexican food tonight. Taco Bell
Fried dead bird sounds good!
Fake Mexican can be OK.
I think I might have a dead bird burger, or a dead fish burger. (blank face) Or a salad and dead bird strips.

Yeah my wife was complaining cause it was 100F+ where she is
45 degrees Celsius?? i thought only the interior of Australia got that hot, not the coast. That is how hot my video card is when it idles. It goes up to 60 degrees C.

And God said: I never promised you a bed of roses.
dead only know one thing: better to be alive (Full Metal Jacket)
140 degrees I'm sure everyone there looks like toothpicks to. Like living in a sauna.

No fun in Texas anywhere, I think. When it decides to get hot, it doesn't mess around!

Not in this tale.. but I'll keep it in mind! I had to Google that name, interesting stuff!
I was a welder and Fabrication Manager there for a year so I know all about the heat. Welding in that stuff sucked big time
Blech, yeah, I can just imagine! Hideously hot with an extra side of heat!

You were in Russia so... :o)
Went from nice 28C yesterday to 18C and rainy today. My joints and back are complaining to me.
