No Windows 7 or Vista drivers Nov 10, 2009
Windows 7 users beware! I bought this product was listed on Microsoft's site as being Windows 7 compatible. However, neither Windows Update nor the USRobotics site have drivers for it. Worse, Windows Vista drivers don't appear to be available. Not sure who the target users are, but I'm not one of them.

Waste of money Dec 03, 2007
Over time I have bought two of these modems. The first one lasted me a little while longer but this last one is a piece of royal junk. Like one other review I read, it will time out on me after being connected for only a short time. It will be trying to send requests out while not accepting data back in. I wont be buying one of these for long time.

Modem Almost Works Right Aug 05, 2007
A big thumbs down!!

Installed seamlessly and seemed to work OK untill I tried to send a fax to a real fax machine. It will not connect. Conclude that it is modem problem and not the fault of the remote fax machines since I have two other computers (an HP and a "brand X") both of which comunicate with the fax machines.

Have tried both the default Windows XP and the latest USR drivers with same results.

So far USR unhelpful.

If you want a reliable - trouble free unit - USR is best ! May 25, 2007
Stay with USR for modems, you can't go wrong there !

Despite the bad reviews, this modem works great for me. Jul 22, 2006
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.
