Rating: - Internet access OK; fax impossible
I bought the Trendnet 56K USB data/fax/TAM modem for use on a Dell XPS M1330 (which does not come with a modem, but I found I needed one). When it arrived, I tested it for access to the internet.

Rating: - Worthless
Do not buy this modem. I purchased one, installed it and it ran one time then died. What a waste of money.

Rating: - Almost perfect modem
This modem is amazingly compact and excellent worker, one drawback with it is the lenght of USB plug, I have an IBM computer and I could not insert the modem into built in USB ports due to shortnes of its plug or bulk of its body, I had to get additional USB multiplier outlet to use this modem, other than that everything is 5 stars.
