Summary: A Modem for Power-Users
Review: This is an excellent modem for a power-user. I have
a complex system with both win95 and Linux. The modem
installed, got configured and worked right away with no
hitch whatsoever. And I've tried about 5 others which
would fail to work properly even in Windows.This modem is a great performer and saps no processing
power from the CPU. It's a real hardware modem not like
the cheap, windows-only ones which unfortunately have
flooded the market and make finding a good hardware one
very, very tough. Be glad that this modem still exists. Any time you replace an internal modem you are asking for
hassles. So most people's comments in that regard are
completely unjustified. Buy an external modem if you want
a slacker's life. Buy this one if you want the best
possible internal modem that works with any operating
system.

Summary: Shopping for an unreliable modem?
Review: You found it!.I bought this modem about one year ago mostly because it worked under Linux,the modem worked properly for 2 months and then suddenly quit working,all i got was a "NO DIAL TONE" error,of course i did check all the connections but still no luck.
Again about 2 weeks ago i installed it on my new home built computer running Windows XP and it worked flawlessly for an hour and then i get disconnected,now when i tried to log on to my ISP i get the NO DIAL TONE error again every time(again my phone line and cable connections are OK.).The USR.COM web site offers no help,they do not even have a driver for Windows XP available yet(Sept./2002!),so i went to Best Buy and bought this [$$$]Diamond SupraMax PCI Winmodem and i am back on the net again,my connection speed seems a bit slower(44.0 Kbps) but for a cheap Winmodem is OK.My advice(based on my own experience): stay away from U.S.Robotics,Best Data and Creative modems regardless their prices.Good luck.
