Review on Superior Connectivity: U.S. Robotics USR5633A 56K USB Faxmodem by Matt Estrada

This little modem was to become the crown jewel of dial-up modems. Among other things, it can work with the new v.92 standard. The connection required no pick or click, and the drivers had to be installed first. After that I got this thing working with my ISP to no avail. In the end, after a lot of sweat and a lot of adjustments, making navigation difficult, time-consuming and, unless you're a techie, useless, connected at 12 kbps. . I've checked the line and computer settings, but I can't increase the bandwidth. The excitement surrounding such a modem got its maker in the head - it's not working properly and needs to be fixed. shocking disappointment. On the plus side, the fax portion of the modem works great with no issues - how weird?
