Rating: Summary: Do not buy conexant Review: My recommendation is that you shouldn't buy any modem with the name Conexant. This was my fourth Conexant modem, and it was just like all the others. It turns out that all Conexant modems are software based, which means that they put most of their workload on the CPU. This results in frequent crashes, slow connections, and most commonly, frequent disconnects. I hope you take this advice and buy something more reliable, such as Best Data or US Robotics.
Rating: Summary: Software modems Review: The best modems for the money by far are the Intel chipset PCI hardware modems . They install very easily and will work 99.9% of the time. These are a no-brainer. I've installed close to 100 of these & there is NO comparison. Quit wasting your time with junk.
