Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: The World Wide Web offers businesses and families a range of resources no one could imagine only a few years ago. But to see the detailed graphics and lifelike motion built into today's most advanced sites, or to hear near-CD quality sound, computer users need the fastest downloads possible over analog phone lines. Now the V.90 U.S. Robotics 56K Winmodem gives Windows users faster downloads for a more exciting, rewarding online experience. When you plug the Winmodem into your PC, just a few clicks get you online. The modem 'introduces' itself to your computer, without any effort from you. Then the Windows operating system makes the necessary adjustments to get you going. And it gives you even better performance than modems that aren't made to work specifically with Windows.

 Rating:  - XP users bewareI was recommended this modem by Dell (and THANK YOU very much) and it has been a nightmare. I've done searches on the error message that I CONSTANTLY receive and have found that many other users are having the same problem! And the problem has been known for more than a year (so why DID Dell recommend?!?) I did a lot of reading and it seems that 'there is a compatibility issue between USRobotics5699B and Windows XP Service Pack 2'. Sure sounds right to me, I have a VERY hard time ... Read More Rating: - I feel like an online crash test dummyIt is a shame for 3com to be mentioned, but I am also one of many infatuated customers that happen to find the Blue Screen of Death maybe twice a week when navigating with this modem. Could be the hardware which could be a piece of s*^t or maybe the software (system Drivers). My OS and machine are more than enough 1024 KB RAM, P3 Xeon, SCSI disks and windows 2000, Service Pack 4. What could be wrong? My trust in a serious and commited company to deliver something good for ... Read More Rating: - driver problemThe model number of this modem is USR5699B. It crashs my system (frequently (I have Windows XP Professional, which is a very stable operating system). After each crash the core dump screen shows that one of its driver file has problem (3c1807pd.sys). I bought this modem just becasue it is a US Robotics. My old US Robotics Sportster modem works perfectly for more than 5 years. But I am very disappointed at this one. I did not give it one star becasue this is a very fast modem. Rating:  - a good and cheap modemMy experience with this winmodem is very good. I downloaded and installed the latest win2k driver from [URL]. Everything went very smooth with 48~50kbps download speed. I feel it is much better then diamond supermax usb external modem for win2k. The latter one keeps disconnecting from the isp and I have to reboot the machine to reconnect. It may because of the driver, though. Rating: - BummerI got my 3Com two weeks ago and had a terrible time trying to determine what was wrong with it. Finally, it proved to be a hardware problem. The modem was defective. It seems to be real fast, but two agonizing weeks of trouble shooting is too much since it requires checking both software and hardware. |
