Pros: None.
Cons: Having it.
Summary: As though the lard of requiring three processes running to support it weren't enough, those processes fail when I access my DVD drives. And that, of course, causes the modem to fail. Trying to reexecute the processes -- two instances of usrmlnka.exe and

Pros: It was cheap...guess you get what you pay for!
Cons: Total waste of time and money!
Summary: I have to agree with most of the reviewers on this item. It is not worth 2 cents. My system came with one of the PCTel modems on the motherboard, and it was marginal, so I decided to upgrade to a US Robotics..figured with their reputation, they would ...

Pros: More reliable than my emachine's standard modem. Doesn't continually disconnect me.
Cons: So far, so good. Haven't had any problems with it.
Summary: I bought an emachine summer of 2003 (something I had sworn I'd never do but the price was too good). The modem that was installed in it was of course very low quality. The modem in my old computer is slower at 33.6kbps and usually connected at 31 ...

Pros: Famous brand
Cons: Almost unusable. Very poor customer service
Summary: This modem crashes my system frequently when I am online. After each crash the error message shows that one of its driver file has problem (3c1807pd.sys). That is why I know it is modem's problem instead of browser's problem.
I contacted the...

The modem comes packed in a box that says it supports Window Me and 9X, but in actual case it does not. ( as yet).

Pros: Name Brand, cheap.
Cons: Stopped working, horrible customer service.
Summary: This modem is junk. I bought it because it was at a reasonable price, and thought that USR was a good name brand. Boy, was I wrong! I've had problems with it from day one. It would disconnect for no apparent reason, and I'd have to uninstall the drivers,

Pros: Readily available at Walmart for less than $30. Store is open on Sunday, early too.
Cons: The USR modem support people do not have a fix for the intermittent hang up.
Summary: Modem disconnects (hangs up) intermittently. This is second modem with problems. First was Broadbandxent which would only connect at 19.2 kbit rate. Conexant modem failed and went off hook without

Summary: This modem is terrible. I tried three different drivers 1)supplied by Windows XP, 2) supplied on CD, 3) updated driver on web site, and this modem is chuck full of problems. The driver supplied with XP causes a GPF in the driver interface, causing me to

Pros: Just one - I also, still have the receipt.
Cons: Too many problems for me. See text.
Summary: Unfortunately, I didn't do my usual check here at Epinions before buying this piece of garbage. I was at looking for a new modem and there was a good priced modem from a good??? manufacturer. WRONG!! After installing it, Windows 2000 couldn't even find

Pros: Cheap, always works, haven't had a problem
Cons: The drivers that came with this modem are bad
Summary: I have had no problems with mine, i connect 44.0 Kbps to 48.0 Kbps all the time. My modem does not drop the connection or any of that stuff. Just don't use the driver that comes with the modem, use the Windows driver. The modem is good, but the drivers

Pros: none
Cons: Too many to list
Summary: I hate to admit it, but I ended up buying two of these "paper weights". The first one worked intermittently and eventually quit working completely after a couple of months. I thought it must be the result of a power surge, even though I have redundant su
