Talk:SpeedTouch 330
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is there a single Linux distribution that supports this modem out of the box? 0L1 15:41, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- I dont believe so. Matthew Fenton (contribs) 15:44, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
I think the section about USB support in Windows 98 is inacurate. It implies Windows 98 was the first version of Windows to support USB. However there was an edtion of windows 95 called Windows 95 with USB support. I doubt that would allow the Speedtouch 330 to work either, although I havn't tried it.

[edit] VOIP compatible?
Is the SpeedTouch USB compatible for VOIP in Australia? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.206.121.120 (talk) 12:29, 12 May 2007 (UTC).
- VOIP should work over any broadband connection, but unlike, say, the SpeedTouch 780, you cannot connect a handset directly to the SpeedTouch USB/330 as it is just a basic USB modem. Shiroi Hane 21:19, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] VISTA USB Issue?
I have used the latest drivers from Thomson for Speedtouch 330 and found that sometimes USB transfer mode (BULK, ISOCHRONUS) can cause slow speeds in VISTA. In XP there is a foced selection of USB mode from BULK to ISOCHRONUS and this can be done in USB TAB of Speedtouch diagnostics application. In VISTA this GUI is different and there is no solution to force the USB to ISOCHRONUS mode for connections above 2Mbps. If someone has solution please post it here and add this to main page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.74.177.146 (talk) 14:05, August 29, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Smashing!
This article is grammatically poor and reads badly (Compatibility Issues section starts with the sentence "They are notorious..".)
Is it also factually incorrect, particularly with regard to the section stating that connection sharing requires a Microsoft Server O/S with either RRAS or ISA Server. All of Microsoft's desktop and server operating systems have had inbuilt support for Internet Connection Sharing for quite some time. A typical user would simply switch on Connection Sharing on their XP or Vista desktop.
"It is not possible to build a LAN using this". Followed by a new sentence "Unless ...". Who wrote this garbage?
The statement about "other NAT-providing O/S's such as GNU/Linux" looks like it was added as an afterthought, as does the "Unless.."
Rather than listing these standard modem traits as a critique of the Speedtouch 330, perhaps it would be better to state that a Modem is a Modem, and a Router is a Router. For sharing a connection amongst multiple computers, a Router (with inbuilt modem) is usually required. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carl0s (talk • contribs) 16:40, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Stusb.jpg
Image:Stusb.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Hub?
Can someone answer a simple question on this?
Could this modem ever be classified as a Hub? I have this set up with an older looking version of the speedtouch 330 and of course works with physical wire to one compyter.
Someone said it is also called a Hub but I think this can only be called a modem? Can some answer one way or another - much appreciated. I will check back here to see if there is an answer. from Diane in Scotland on 5th March 2008.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.113.57.167 (talk • contribs) 5 March 2008
- The ST330 cannot be described as a hub, it is merely a basic USB modem. Shiroi Hane (talk) 13:53, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
