Hayes ACCURA Low-profile V.92 PCI Softmodem Model H08-15531

Advantages: V.92
Disadvantages: No outline port. Faulty installer software

...I wanted to write a positive op for this product I truly did, and even though most of what follows talks about the good points of this modem and Creative. There was just a few too many niggles with this modem that has dented my appreciation of Creative. (Sorry Creative!) Onto the op! I picked up this modem from Dabs.com for slightly high price of £34 + VAT + P&P about a week ago and sadly enough I’m sending it back! I was in the middle of building 3 computers at once and needed an internal PCI modem so I ran to a well-known company and their modem! I picked this modem mainly on the merits of it being Creative and because its got the new V.92 standard! (More on that later) What you get in the box ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 x Modem Blaster™ V.92 (PCI) Driver, manual and Installation software on CD ROM Phone Cable... Read review

Advantages: Low Profile Adapter as standard
Disadvantages: No disadvantages

...a secure connection and although they cannot support every access point and router on the market they have done a excellent job with there software suit to ensure a secure and easy connection. Out of the box this card seems like any other, with a list of technical speciation that have little meaning to the average user who just wants a secure reliable home network. You would have to use this device to see for yourself to see just how good it is and if unconvinced by this review I would say one thing. The Buffalo wireless PCI card comes complete with a low profile adapter which to anyone with a new Dell computer (such as myself) will know only to well the annoyance of finding decent PCI card that are low profile compatible. Buffalo have clearly put a lot of effort into this card and insured anyone who buys is will not be disappointed... Read review

Advantages: Easy to fit, good software package included, good brand
Disadvantages: only one line in - no audio sockets or line out

...From the well known Creative (SoundBlaster) stables comes this internal V90 PCI 56K modem. Complete with cable, drivers and some usefull software - Mediaring talk, Quicklink Message Centre and Bitware fax/communications. It only has a line-in socket on the back so you cannot 'daisy-chain' your telephone from this modem. I found the card easy to fit and configure and was up and running in less than 10 minutes - just fit the moden into your case and boot-up, Windows discovered it had new hardware installed and then asked for the location of the drivers, I pointed it at the correct directory on the CD drive and that was it! It connected first and every consequent time at a minimum of 48K and once at 50.3K Good product well worth considering for home use.... Read review
