Works as promised and easy to make.

Very easy installation; Simply remove the computer cover, remove the cover from one of the PCI slots and insert it into the PCI slot. Tighten the screw and put the cover back on. It was easy to do! The software installation was very quick. I had a problem with my computer recognizing the modem and I called support. They were able to direct me (it turned out I had other modem software controlling the modem slot - I just turned it off and then that modem's software took over). The package…

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Without machine

DOA, unreliable and useless

I ordered two of these devices for an important project. One stopped working after a call and asked for a replacement. My troubles didn't end there. Despite replacement, none of these modems worked reliably. Calls failed half the time, and even when installed they were very slow and prone to dropouts. After some testing, trying different drivers and configurations, using them on different computers, and trying other products, we found that the modems themselves were buggy. Using a different…

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Speed

window = YES! Linux = NO! See below for EXCITING details!

Works. As. So if you're a Linux or Windows user, here's the breakdown: Windows: Plugged in, Windows 7 picked up and installed the drivers right away. I was connected to the network via ethernet, maybe that helped. With Windows Scan and Fax, faxes are received and sent normally. Didn't check the baud rate. Mbps vs Kbps. It just won't happen. Although I removed the fax part from the windows printer list and to fix it I had to remove/add the fax service/group/account in the scan and fax window…

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

But does a solid job for a low-profile softmodem.

I upgraded my old Windows XP computer system that had a USR5660A 56K PCI fax modem that didn't work on Windows 7. This modem was always connected at 45.2 kbps or 44 kbps. So I decided to add a new modem that can run Windows 7. I initially ordered a TRENDnet TFM-PCIV92A 56K PCI Data/Fax/TAM Internal Modem based on user feedback. I immediately returned the TRENDnet modem because it could not connect at speeds greater than 33.6 kbps, had no built in speaker for dialing and dialing control, and no…

Pros
  • Amazing
Cons
  • Some bugs
