3Com EtherLink II ISA

Advantages: good, fast, cheap
Disadvantages: Nothing

...as lasting, after the installation and the installation what both rather quickly and simply went, to this day, had never to open my computer because of this card I it works faultlessly to this day. I use it for my small network, what consists of three computers or if friends come to the gamble to me. Up till now I didn't as said have any problems with it yet and I think I am also absolutely satisfied with their speed who already needs a 1000 Mbit card at home, then? So nothing bad gives to report, I have used it for my DSL once a while, too and it worked and harmonized faultlessly also there, I really only can recommend it if spare one extra card, one of the good manufacturer 3 COM then. ? 3 COM ? 3Com Europe Limited 3Com Centre Boundary Way Maylands Park South HEMEL HEMPSTEAD Hertfordshire HP2 7YU ENGLAND phone: +44 (0)1442 438000 fax: +44 (0...

Advantages: All
Disadvantages: No

...I have tried 10 different modems and my USR is the best, PCI modems suck and this USR ISA modem connects faster and never drops me. I can even pick up the phone and puch buttons on the open line... stays connected. I get a 53333KPS v.90 connection everytime, helps i live near the Sprint building for that :) plus, PCI modems seem to conflict with other hardware too easily, they have to have it there way and they freeze my system for a sec or two everytime the modem connects or disconnects....

...The 3COM 56k External Fax Modem I have been using for the past 2 or three years is great. When I got it the highest speed I could get was 33.6 (before X2 and 56Flex were ready) but the modem still outperformed my friends internal PCI and ISA modems. As soon as the X2 56K technology was available I flashed the modem and was soon surfing at 56k speeds. Again my modem outperformed the K56Flex internal modems my friends were using by a long way. When the V.90 56k standard was finally sorted out I upgraded and again saw an improvement in speed. Three years after buying the modem its still working well and a lot faster than any other I have tried. The ammount I payed was a bit high when I first bought it (£150) but the investment has been well worth it as I have had no trouble with the device on a variety of PCs and operating systems...
