Newbie question - SB5100

[drewmerc]

It was working fine without me paying internet.

thats the bit i have an issue you have got to be stupid to write that on an open forum

i think that's a perfectly legitimate question. i need help connecting the USB part of the SB5101 to the serial port on my computer... i looked for an adapter on ebay, but i think i'm missing something

you are missing something, you need to connect your computer usb port to the serial port of the modem and for this you use a usb ttl cable (you never said what modem so this is just conjecture) (and this is me cheering myself up by using a word that i really don't understand or if the context is correct, so i think i go eat a dictionary)
