User 56KV.92 Performance pro Modem Rohs Controller Pci

I bought a USB WIFI adapter to use High Speed Internet from local Hot Spots in my community. I don't subscribe to a High Speed Internet service. The WIFI adapter worked great, but I learned that once I used the High Speed Internet on my desktop that has Windows XP, I could no longer use Dial-Up. I still wanted to use Dial-Up for secure communication because I was using Hot Spots.I talked to several different repair places and they thought that the problem was that Windows XP was causing the problem. I learned that the modem that came with my desktop was a Soft Modem. I thought that a better Modem might solve the problem, so I bought this very good modem. It didn't solve the problem.I solved the problem the expensive way by buying a new desktop computer that had Windows 7 in it. Unfortunately, the connector on this modem did not fit in my new computer. I therefore did not get to test this modem.However, it is a well constructed modem which installed easily on my old computer. I wish that it would have solved my problem beause it would have saved me a lot of money.I did like this modem and the specs say that it works better than the Soft Modem that came with my old computer.

This modem works well, but somewhat on the expensive side. Kind of been a fan of US Robotics as over the years as I have had several. All have worked without issue, easy to set up. Getting hard to find an external fax modem these days. Apparently fax modems are going the way of the dinosaur. But some people still do not have email capability and I am requested to send by fax, so I purchased for insurance in my new Windows 7 computer. It requires a standard pci slot. I would have prefered an external as was my last unit. I like the lights to verify what is going on. But none were available except for serial input. Most computers no longer have serial ports including mine.This modem comes with basic Phone Tools software. It works well for what I am asking of it. But for some, it may not have enough features. Check closely and check specifications.

I am on a very old ATT phone line and my other modem kept dropping the line, read good reviews on this one and it does not drop the line as often, but connects at a slower speed. Was going to send it back, but decided it was better to stay connected at any speed, 21,6 than be in the middle of a pogo game and the line to drop. I called USR and they were not any help in getting a higher connect speed. It also takes a long time to get connected in the first place. ATT does not offer DSL in my area, they had rather spend their money buying other phone companies than take care of the customers they already have.

The 3CP5610A (005610-01) 56K Performance Pro Modem (PCI Internal) is a fantastic modem. It is not a cheap winmodem. Here in Albuquerque,NM the phone lines are beginning to deteriorate. This is the only modem that connects at the maximum line level of 49.2 Kbaud. I bought one for my wife in August and now wish to add one to my 4 GB E6850 Core Duo 2 3.15 GHz machine. I detest the fact that the telecommunications companies in this area are charging $50.00 to $75.00 USD/month to connect at 7 Mbaud. I really don't need to download music and videos but I need an excellent and reliable connection. I recommend this modem as a backup for cable modems. When Broadband over Powerline connectivity comes here I will still be using this fantastic tool as a backup.

This product is 'said to be' fuily supported in garbage Microsoft. However, if you believe in not aiding and abetting cyber criminals by being a Microsoft idiot, and you wish to you a real operating system (i.e., UNIX, Linux, etc.), then you are in for a world of hurt in trying to get information to make this work. I was able to create a driver for my OS, and it performs very well. However, that driver should have been tested and packed with the product upon leaving the factory.

I needed more horse power from a modem as the USB ones simply fell short of expectations and could not handle faxing over VOIP no matter what steps I had taken to get it to work. Controller or Hardware base modems usually work better than Win or Soft modems and this one did not disappoint. I suppose I could have attached the USB 2 Fax Data voice modem on a USB 3 connection but why would I want to clock down that connection just to fax and slow everything else to USB 2 status.

This is my second purchase of this modem as the first was fried by a near by lightening strike. After trying several modems with poor results, this modem gave the best performance with quick connections and never a dropped line. The transaction was perfect and I received the shipment even before the promised delivery date.
