I have a compaq running windows ME, installed quickly with no hangups at all, its actually the first piece of hardware that loaded, installed with included software that actually worked without having to call tech support.. its really a great deal for the price and no major configuing needed for this puppy.. smooth easy sailing.. love it.

After purchasing this modem and receiving it 1 day early I read the enclosed instructions and installed the modem as directed. I am well satisfied with the installation aspect and the perfomance of this modem.

This modem is great!! replaced a US Robotics 5699B which was hanging up and dropping connection. This one holds a solid connection without a hickup. Also, the Netwaiting software, which pops up to show you who is calling and let's you decide if you want to take the call or keep surfing, keeps a record of the numbers that have called you.

I agree 100% with Jackcrow-fool's review. I bought this modem as a replacement for a failed Conexant modem on my 3-year old Dell desktop computer. I looked over the box very carefully; it said nothing about being a Winmodem (i.e. not controller-based). As soon as I opened the box I realized from its size that it was not controller-based, but since I had opened the box I installed it. It installed easily and works well. But, I wanted a controller-based modem, so I plan to exchange it at Office Depot. I'm a little reluctant to do so since it works well, and I might be exchanging it for something that doesn't work well. Why do manufacturers hide essential info from buyers, such as the controller issue.

Tried everything. Can't find a driver to work with Vista. Can't return it because it is not defective.

I tried installing the modem software in Windows 98 according to directions and had much difficulty. The software corrupted my registry a number of times, which I then had to restore. Software was poorly designed. I finally got it installed, and it is working fine. However, to avoid headaches, I would look for another modem if you have Windows 98.

One of the best PCI Internal Modems on the market today. I am in rural America with no access to any ISP except dial-up. I use 2 of these on Windows XP machine and MultiLink PPP for a combined speed of 98.5k to 106k making it possible to use most streaming music sites but not quite fast enough for streaming video. These Modems have no problems, they connect and bundle 3 times as fast as older V.90 Winmodems and have user features like "Modem on Hold" that make them a notch above the competition. If you want a Modem that is easy to install and use, this is the one.... hands down.... by far the best.

Simply stated, this is the worst modem money can buy.
Consistant very low connection speeds and downloads.
I replaced it with another brand and got back the speed.
It's not the phone line Broadxent.
Don't buy this modem.

GREAT FUNCTIONALITY OUT OF THE BOX; SOFTWARE SMALL AND EFFICIENT, JUST WHAT I NEEDED WHEN MY HARD DRIVE OVERLOADED!

Maybe my fault but the way the product was listed I expected it to work with my hotfax software which is a full blown Voice fax data software that is capable of turning your computer into an answering machine.
Unfortunately items were returned. We'll see how the refund process plays out.
