I purchased this product because I stay in a lot of mom-and-pop motels in small towns that only have dial-up connections. My new netbook (MSI Wind) doesn't have an internal modem, so this little jewel was a life saver. Plus, it's small enough to fit in my computer bag.

Bought this modem to be able to transfer it from computer to computer, as I sometimes help others with computer problems and set-up. I am on dial-up and this is a handy way to get on line and fax with the XP and Vista Fax software that comes pre-installed with the operating system. The small disk only come with drivers and that is all, no fax software what-so-ever. Installed easily. Worked okay, slower then a PCI modem. This is a win modem, so it used your processor to operate. Okay for what it is, over priced by at least $25.00 for what you get.

Purchased this modem for a new computer. Shipping was excellent. Modem installation was simple and the modem has worked fine so far. My only complaint was the fact that it cost too much.

This works if connected diretly to a USB 2.0 port, but it would not disconnect after a fax was sent when it was connected to a D-Link 1 to 7 USB Hub. I contacted customer support via email and their response was within 24 hours. They could not find the problem and suggested they a send it to them for an exchange. However, I found out the problem with connecting it to the USB hub and did not need to send it back. The instruction sheet is a bit vague, as it gave you the impression that Vista would not require the drivers on the supplied CD, but it did need it.
