Also stated to bne Mac OX X compatible. No driver on CD or web. I could not use it for either platform so I returned it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Linux Modem, March 11, 2007

This review is from: 56K V.92 EXT Data/FaxModem (Personal Computers)

The purpose of buying this modem was to enable my computer to connect to the internet while running a live Linux distribution.

Since my internal modem is a software modem it could not be recognized easily by Linux. So I needed this external modem.

It worked fine with Simply Mepis and Knoppix.

Ubuntu, Fedora, and Kubuntu failed to recognize this modem.

I have no doubt that someday they will.

4.0 out of 5 stars A modem that works with any operating system, January 29, 2006

This review is from: 56K V.92 EXT Data/FaxModem (Personal Computers)

I bought this modem so that I could use the internet on a Linux operating system. All my other modems were winmodems --that is, they required Windows to work. This modem was delivered within a week of ordering, and shipping and handling were free. My only problem with it was that while the description stated it would work with Linux, the manual didn't mention anything other than Windows. Also, the only things on the included CD were a copy of the manual in PDF and a Windows driver. This would confuse most users who do not know if a corresponding Linux driver is necessary.
