Rating: Summary: Top Notch 56K Modem Review: Had clunky 28K modem for three years. Can't imagine why I waited so long to upgrade. Installation went easy. Logs on at 50K+. Faster than my new iBook at 46K from same location. Web pages "fly" now. Don't see why I'd want to pay $40/month for a DSL. Use PII 400 with USB MB. Plug and Pray worked fine.

Rating: Summary: May have problems with XP Review: Have been running Windows XP. XP recognizes it as a generic fax/modem and answers the phone everytime it rings as a fax interfering with incoming calls. Creative has not released a driver for XP. It connects about 30 to 50% of the time on first try. Once connected the connection fails about 50% of the time. Have tried to get help from Creative, but nothing yet.

Rating: Summary: Excellent Bargain Review: I bought this for a friend for Christmas, and I just installed it today. It works wonderfully. I had no problem with the pnp features; Win 98 detected it right away. Driver installation was no problem, and it connected at 52,000. This modem is an excellent buy. I gave it 4 stars because the fax software has no manual, and I'm still trying to figure it out. For this price, get this modem.
Rating: Summary: DAMN GOOD Review: I just bought this product cuz the modem in my computer [was not good] and would only connect at the most 36kbps and it was slow and would kick me off all the time. So i bought this modem and now i connect at 115kbps and it works everytime.
Rating: Summary: Included software Stinks Review: I love the modem. All my other software works with it. But I still haven't got the SUPER VOICE 2.2 to work with it. I can recive calls but can't make them. I have tried new drivers and settings and nothing works. But the modem works fine with the Phone dialer and the TAD works great with the Sound Blaster Live soundcard. Good price great modem. Love it
Rating: Summary: Great modem for the price Review: I've assembled a few dozen "budget" systems over the last few years and the one thing that always bothered me is how difficult it is to find a good quality modem at a low end system price. I'm usually thrilled to get 42-46kbps in my area. I recently had to buy a modem in a hurry at a chain store to finish up a machine and it happened to be the DI5630. I have to say that I'm impressed. I've been using the PCI version and over the last few months it's never connected at less than 48kbps. I've read some of the reviews about difficulties with the PnP feature of this card but have never come across this problem using the Win98 OS on any of the PCs I've built since then. I think this modem is about the best you can get for the money, and until I break down and get cable or DSL, this is the last modem I'm going to buy for myself.

Rating: Summary: Excellent Bargain Review: It was hard to install the card into my pci slot. A couple Driver Installation problems which made me call tech support. It achieved a fast connection speed of 48,000bps and quick download speed.Great Product, few Installation problems
