Over time I have bought two of these modems. The first one lasted me a little while longer but this last one is a piece of royal junk. Like one other review I read, it will time out on me after being connected for only a short time. It will be trying to send requests out while not accepting data back in. I wont be buying one of these for long time.

A big thumbs down!!
Installed seamlessly and seemed to work OK untill I tried to send a fax to a real fax machine. It will not connect. Conclude that it is modem problem and not the fault of the remote fax machines since I have two other computers (an HP and a "brand X") both of which comunicate with the fax machines.
Have tried both the default Windows XP and the latest USR drivers with same results.
So far USR unhelpful.

My girlfriend got this for her computer and when it didn't work I was called in to rectify the problem. I've been performing onsite hardware/software support for over 10 years and, despite every trick, common sense step, heck I even read the directions to see if they would shed light, I was unable to get it to detect the modem. Playing around with windows, bios PNP settings, drivers, IRQs..etc I was unable to get the modem to even be picked up by the computer, I thought it was a bad modem until I ... Read More
