    Im not sure if your able to play Xbox live off a usb modem if its like the O2 modems.
    Also microsoft and mac don't really like each other its like mixing jagermeister and apple juice.
    Then again man best of luck either that or justget yourself a wireless router and a new internet connection:P

    You can, 100%. The speed varies so you might get a lot of lag, but you can use Xbox Live with the 3 modem (I know people who use it for Xbox Live!)

    Its just simple networking....shouldn't make a difference.

    I guess what you will need to do is to connect the mac via cross over cable to the 360 and then route the wireless through the network card (Its easier than it sounds - I did it by getting internet through a cable and sharing it wirelessly in about 30 seconds).

    I haven't used the 3 modem on a mac, so I can't tell you any more really.

    Hope this helps you out.
