I bought this modem for 120 dollars at CompUSA since a lightning storm blew out my old Best Data modem.
Installing It

Pros: Easy to install. Resistant to line noise=faster connections Cons: none noted
I recently lost my Supra Express external modem to a lightning strike and was on the look-out for a new modem.
I live in the country, and I do mean the sticks. I doubt we'll ever have cable access in this area, so I have to rely on a standard...

Pros: looks nice Cons: short MTBF
While it worked, it worked well. When it died, it took out the whole house.
From new out of the box in January 2K it lasted until early September. The decay was slow at first: gradually becoming harder to get and hold a high speed connection....

Pros: Service, Reliability, Compatability, Durability Cons: Analog Modem
This external modem by 3COM is the best personal choice for modem communications. I bought this device because it has been engineered from it's predecessors of 14.4, 28.8,& 33.6, and each one of those modems has also been top notch in terms of...

Pros: Easy to install, fast & stable download speeds, website has drivers and a lot of information.

Pros: Looks Nice Cons: Warranty is vapor warranty, buy a ZOOM modem.
The phone call to inquiry about warranty service for a US Robotics modem is a ripoff. They put $8.00 on your credit card just to talk to them. The phone number that you must use is a 801 (NOT 800) number; I assumed that 801 must be just another toll f ...

Pros: Brand name, reliability, external, lights, on/off switch, volume control Cons: None!
Not much to say really, other than this is a top notch modem. Forget internal modems which fight for IRQs with other PCI devices, this external modem is reliable, solid, nice modern design and easy to use.
It's got all the familiar modem...

Pros: Very good speed Cons: None visible yet
There comes the story of how I bought my modem:
First I guided about how cheap or expensive the modem was. And normally I tried an internal modem (A webExcel modem). I was lucky I had a friend that let me try the modem before buying it. The answer...

Pros: Good name, ease of installation Cons: none
Great quality, simple installation, solid brand name.
3Com/US Robotics has been the leader in dial-up modems for years now with good reason, quality, quality, quality. Once you've built a reputation as a solid performer you can pretty much...

Pros: reliability Cons: price
I know that you do get what you pay for -- so after being frustrated to no end with a Motorola internal and a HSP internal dropping my connection every 5 minutes and not having a reliable stable internet connection. I just decided to spend the $129.00...
