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 56Kmodem. 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. ...
My ZOOM 56KV90 Dual Modem has been the best modem I have ever had. When I purchased a new machine it came with its own PCI modem, however this soon came out and was replace with my trusty zoom when I started getting cut off from my ISP. I regularly axchieve speeds of up to 52K and with a usual connection at 49,333 bps.
The modem is fitted internally and has been in service now for almost 2 years without any sign of breakdown. Trusty, reliable and fast are the best way I can describe it. With a Flash Circuit I can even upgrade it should the need arise.
A great modem at a very reasonable price.
Customer support is excellent too. ...
Advantages: easy to install, bets modem to use Disadvantages: bit more expensive than normal modems
I have had many months of poor connections or even lack of connections and engaged tones, that was until I bought an external 3 COM [previously US Robotics] modem.
The modem was a good 20 pounds more expensive than all of the other types of model I would usually buy.
Well it is the best extra money I have ever spent.
I suddenly found myself conencting to all of the ISP's that I couldn't in the past. I was sure it was them, but it was my orginal modem.
I even changed the old modem back to see if it was a lucky day or sometihng, but still had problems with the old modem.
The 3COM modem is the best modem you can buy for a PC. ...
