No digital certificate from Microsoft

MS Windows XP strongly recommends you not to install it for this reason. Apart from this problem, another problem is that it is unmanaged i.e. H. Forget using it with Linux and expect lower performance (e.g. I couldn't load Open Office with it even though I tried about 10 times, my old serial modem did it on the first run) . To attempt). It also lacks modem indicators, which are useful for quickly checking if it's on or off and/or receiving/transmitting data. It is sold for use when travelingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • For old

Couldn't get it to work.

I couldn't get this thing to work with Windows XP and WinFax 10.0. It's been a long time, I don't remember the details. I don't even know how or where I got it. This is a very, very old modem and is no longer for sale so this is for others who may come across this in the future. I stumbled across this while sorting through boxes of old computer junk. At that time it only had drivers from Win2K to XP and NO Linux. I've successfully installed computer modems and fax software in the past, so I'mโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Long delivery time

I would give it zero stars if I could

I bought this modem to help get through horrible phone lines made worse by the ongoing construction and HOW this modem performed best in a multiple device comparison has, I will never know. From the day I installed it it has been an ongoing disappointment. Even in 2002, whether online or not, XP modem drivers cause more problems than they solve. Even at the highest speeds I can connect at, I usually just get "can't find server" screens due to transfer latency, despite Zoom's much-vaunted speedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old

POS Networking Products

I have had nothing but problems with this modem since I bought it. My initial problem was that Zoom took forever to release the XP drivers for this modem and it was never supported on NT. When they finally installed the XP drivers, they didn't work. Eventually, working drivers were installed, but modem performance was depressing. My old generic modem that used the Lucent chipset far outperformed it. I got a very bad cooperation from their support. I ended up tossing the thing in the box andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other models

Excellent modem for computers and accessories

Modem connected easily. I am using Windows 98 SE and HP e-vectra. It is very good that this modem supports the new V92 standard. Good business.

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • boring packaging

Great product for computers and accessories

After reading other reviews I was a bit skeptical about buying a Zoom external USB modem 3090-00-00. But I made the purchase and have only had great success with the modem. I installed the drivers on my laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo D 8800, Win XP Home) and PC (EMachines Tower 533id, Win 98SE). Connection speed is excellent on both machines (45 Kbps), although I have a bad phone line. Once I replace the old cable on my phone line with a better one, I should get a connection speed of over 50โ€ฆ

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Poorly designed

The best modem I've ever had!

I had problems with my previous modem, it kept disconnecting. This new modem from Zoom was very easy to install and my computer recognized it immediately. It connects to the internet instantly and now I never get disconnected. I've had it for two weeks now and I'm very impressed. The price is very affordable, especially with the discount! The only thing is that it doesn't connect at a higher speed, but I think it has more to do with the phone lines in my area. This is a great modem and easy toโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent workmanship
Cons
  • Expensive

Old review - may be out of date

I am writing this to clarify some of the reviews on products I have purchased from Revain. This is an old product but when I bought it it never worked satisfactorily. So much so that I never used it and had to send it back. But I don't think it's even on sale yet.

Pros
  • Understanding old people too
Cons
  • Something is wrong

Good Computers and Accessories

When I just bought this item it was good because I was running Windows 98 but now I've upgraded to Windows XP and it requires your computer to be running at 730mg and was faster than my computer at only 500mg. So if I want it to work again I have to go back to Windows 98.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Disappear
