Customer Reviews of US Robotics V.90-V.92 Internal PCI Faxmodem
If you want a reliable - trouble free unit - USR is best ! Stay with USR for modems, you can't go wrong there !
Despite the bad reviews, this modem works great for me.
How I came by this modem is a funny story...
<

<
>A friend put my current system together for me and he included a "Modem Blaster" from Creative Labs (makers of SoundBlaster cards). I had a lot of problems with that modem (wildly varying connect speeds, transfer speeds that dropped over time, etc). It recently got fried by lightning.

<
>I had picked up an old computer that someone had put out for trash pickup, but which I hadn't done anything with. I checked the back and saw phone jacks, so I opened the case and discovered this modem sitting in one of the slots. I pulled it out and installed it in my system. Then I pulled my old system out of the closet (with an ISA slot modem, which I can't use on this system), went online, went to USR's site, downloaded the driver and put it on a floppy disk. I then installed the driver on this system and attempted to dial my ISP.

>It connected at 50666 on the first try, and almost always connects at that speed. Where my old modem would get a max speed of about 5.4K a second, this one consistently gets 6K a second and the speed doesn't seem to drop over time like the other one.

<
>I can't explain why it works for me, but yet so many others have problems with it. I've never been a big fan of "winmodems", but I have to say that this one works much better than the one I was using.

>For the record, I'm using Windows 98SE on a 1.8Ghz Pentium with 512MB of RAM.

My girlfriend got this for her computer and when it didn't work I was called in to rectify the problem. I've been performing onsite hardware/software support for over 10 years and, despite every trick, common sense step, heck I even read the directions to see if they would shed light, I was unable to get it to detect the modem. Playing around with windows, bios PNP settings, drivers, IRQs..etc I was unable to get the modem to even be picked up by the computer, I thought it was a bad modem until I read a lot of the reviews/tech questions on the net related to it and found the exact same problems. My advice is to try another modem. Note: USR offers Windows XP 'certified' drivers on their site but it's kind of hard to download them when you're trying to install a modem so you can connect to the internet in the first place.
