5.0 out of 5 stars No installed moden? Get this, January 28, 2008

By	Harmon (Winchester, VA) - See all my reviews

I didn't have a modem installed in my new computer because I have cable broadband service. Then I found I needed to send some faxes which requires using the phone line and a modem. The Trendnet USB modem solved the problem for me. It is inexpensive and works great. I recommend this modem if your computer doesn't already have a modem installed. It is also easy to take with you, if you want to fax from your notebook. The alternative would be to use an online service, which requires a monthly fee.

1.0 out of 5 stars Controllerless = WinModem, August 14, 2006

By	My Opinion - See all my reviews

The product info doesn't mention this, but this modem is a controllerless modem (a.k.a. WinModem) which means it only works on Windows (not Linux or Mac). Also, controllerless modems usually perform slightly worse than controller-based modems.

3.0 out of 5 stars Awesome modem, September 22, 2005

By	Carol L. Barnes - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I live in a rural area, and have tried several PCI modems, but couldn't get better than 31.2K connect. This TrendNet modem installed easily (Win98SE), and connects at 44K all the time. I'm pleased!
