1.0 out of 5 stars What a waste of time, money and effort!, November 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Best Data Products A56FW-PCI Mach 2 56K Modem (Personal Computers)

This modem is one of the biggest pieces of garbage that I have ever seen. This modem requires MMX for it to work, but yet it is not mentioned anywhere on the box or in the manual. You want tech suport from the manufacture? Forget it. I could not even find this modem mentioned on their website. And if you want to talk to a live person, it's gonna cost you.

1.0 out of 5 stars There is a such thing as QA, December 5, 1999

I just brought this modem tonight; I attempted to install it in my parent's computer. The modem was not detected automatically by Windows as proclaimed in the manual, nor could I get it to be detected from the Win95 Control Panel/Add New Hardware function. I saw the reviews of the other people here on Amazon.com and I agree with their assessment. I do not have a Pentium MMX and at a minimum the "so-called manual should have mentioned the MMX requirement. Even though I paid $ for it from Staples and I've watched the Dallas/New England game (while installing), I never had problems such as this before. I'm taking it back promptly tomorrow.

Best Data's motto should be "Buyer Beware". I'm nomoron when it comes to hardware installation (I built my currentsystem from the ground up), but I couldn't get this working after 5 hours of trying. No dial tone no matter what I do. The "documentation" is laughable and I refuse to pay for tech support that shouldn't be needed in the first place. If you are considering this modem, do yourself a favor and flush the money down the toilet; you'll get the same results with less aggravation.
