I ordered this Diamond brand because my $80 US Robotics modem wasn't working and never really did. Hooked this up in minutes to the PCI slot, installed software, ran some kind of installation files, and bang! Windows picked it up immediately, so that now I have this modem as a Printer, and can easily send anything from my 'puter to any fax machine. Plus the recipients have told me that it is much clearer than my MFC fax. ouldn't ask for more.

I bought this modem to retrofit a older computer to make it last a while longer. The product installed easily, but the documentation is not very helpful. In fact, it was quite confusing in that the documentation covers all Best Data modem products, and the drivers for all products as well. If you are installing this to work with Windows 98 as I was, then expect to fumble around a bit with the driver choices.

Nevertheless, I was able to get the modem working quickly and flawlessly despite the confusion. I haven't had a problem since.

It is worth the price, and I would purchase another if necessary.

this modem works fine had no trouble with installation on xp and its worked fine since i installed it. i recently switched to broadband so i do use right now, but its there if i need it again.

The Diamond Modem I received was not as pictured. The picture shows a retail product with a controller on the card and a speaker. The product I received was a white box Best Data soft modem with a generic driver disk. The product was seriously misrepresented in my opinion. I could have bought this type of modem for $7 delivered.

I ordered a modem from Beach Boys on June 18, 2011. it still has not come today is July 09, 2011. They take your money and never send you your stuff. So I rate them at a big fat 0. Buyer Beware.
