Sierra Wireless Watcher
escaperaise reviewed on 19 Aug 2009
Today running fully updated 10.5.8 with Sierrra Wireless Watcher 1.1.4, and SWW crashes as often as every ten seconds, often every 5 minutes, taking the connection with it. Seldom stays online for more than an hour.
There cannot possibly be anything good to say about the software engineers at Sierra Wireless. This is a longstanding and widespread problem and they have no interest in fixing it.
The upside? When the connection is active it's fast enough for everything I do. I travel a lot so I live with the situation and hope someday Sprint will ditch SWW and hire a software company that has a Clue.

The instructions are here: http://glimmerblocker.org/wiki/Uninstall
• open the "Network" preferences panel and disable the "http proxy" setting for all the network connections: Click the 'advanced' button for each of them, then select the 'proxy' tab.
• if this file exists, delete it:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.glimmerblocker.proxy.plist
• restart your mac (so the proxy is stopped, and the system notices the above file is removed)
With support like this I plan to keep Glimmerblocker and learn to configure it better.
Cheers,
Sierra Wireless Watcher
