Product Description

Product Description

Diamond Supra unleashes the highest performance SupraMax modems with newly adopted ITU, V.92 and V.44 compression standards. SupraMax gives you the advantages of extensive analog access to the Internet with an added boost of speed over earlier standards. These improvements includes accelerated upstream data transfers (up to 40% faster), faster Internet dial-up connection times using an intelligent start-up sequence, and advanced compression algorithms that let you send common file type (such as HTML, e-mail, and executable files) more efficiently. The new Modem-On-Hold feature lets you receive incoming voice calls without dropping your current modem connections. And, because the SupraMax V.92 is backward compatible with V.90 and earlier standards, you can relax and enjoy faster Internet speeds without worry. (For more information on V.92 features, please see below.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive modem card, June 14, 2007

By	Hendrick Kipp "Rick Kipp" (Fort Myers, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worked as advertised with no problems, March 2, 2007

By	Amazon Jams (Warrenton, VA USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Diamond Modem not as shown, August 13, 2009

By	Sal - See all my reviews

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.
