Diamond SupraExpress USB (PC/Mac)

Rating:
Summary: A wonderful modem.
Review: This is the third modem I've bought in a matter of months. The first one crashed on me, and the second was a terrible model I bought off eBay. I finally got it right on the third try. This is a wonderful modem. It connects fast enough, it has great software included, and best of all, it's USB, so you can free up an electrical outlet. A must buy.

Summary: Does not work properly on Windows XP
Review: This modem has all sorts of incompatibility issues with Windows XP over the USB connection. Mine never powers on when I start my computer, I have to yank out the usb cord and plug it back in each time. Bad driver support as well. The rest of these reviews are very misleading and make me wonder if they were written by people who work for the company. After all the modem has been discontinued

Summary: Outstanding quality and support. Slight USB port preferance
Review: This modem is fast and reliable once you get it plugged into the prefered port. I experianced a system lockup using this product in the secondary USB port, that would occure at odd times while surfing the net. Changing USB ports fixed this mild annoyance. Otherwise it detects, installs and runs without a glitch.

Summary: Great performer!
Review: While I don't have the USB version, I can attest to the goodness of the serial version. MUCH more reliable and swift than the INTERNAL 56K modem I replaced. Initial connections are quick and reliable, as are subsequent net-surfing sessions. And it INCLUDES the serial cable (hard-wired), unlike the popular U.S. Robotics external modem I almost bought for much more money (this seems INEXCUSABLY greedy and smug on the part of U.S. Robotics, considering how much more their modem costs!). A great performer and a great value. Its comparative compactness on the desktop does not diminish its power.
