Pros: 56k, X2 technology with V.90 standard, 16 Bit ISA ( hardware controlled) Cons: A little pricey, but worth it
This modem is the best choice for the most compatibility in your PC. I have used this modem with Windows 95/98, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Linux and OS2. This is a standard ISA modem, which is the only type I will buy. Most ISA modems use actual...
Did I tell you that I am a 3Com fan. However I didn’t own a 3Com U.S. Robotics Modem because I bought an Emachine system that came with an internal 56k modem which is not 3Com but it’s not 3Com. Actually I bought one for my sister for her system. The...
Pros: Offers reliability, no more headaches, and undaunted performance. Cons: Considerably more pricey than your average generic modem, but is definitely worth the cost.
Review: 3Com 56K Faxmodem Internal
Back when I still routinely used my old 333 mHZ computer, things were a lot more difficult for me. At that time, I believed that I could save myself some money by investing in cheap generic brands...
Pros: Great quality product. Fast and efficiant. Cons: Comes with a high price tag
The Background
A lot of people call US Robotics the Nike of computer modems. They're the biggest brand name out there, and they carry the highest price tags. The big difference between USR and Nike is that you're paying for more than...
Pros: Fast,Reliable,Compatable with every major operating system Cons: Cost more than most other brands. Worth it tho.
Let me tell you No other modem stands close to the 3Com/USR 56K modems. Their Sportster line of modems has been my choice out of all the modems I've sold. I've sold and installed modems from all top name brands for years and 3Com/USR is by far the most...
Pros: It works reliably. At LAST!!! Cons: Only connects at 45K. I used to get 52K, but could never stay online.
I wasn't sure I needed a new modem. I had problems -- unable to stay online over about 20 minutes, sometimes unable to log on at all, and freezing for about 30 seconds from time to time while i was online.
This is my second attempt at upgrading from a 33.6k modem to 56k. My first attempt failed miserably using a 3Com 56K Winmodem PCI Faxmodem. I was utterly disappointed in that modem and with 3Com for putting out a sub-standard piece of equipment. Still,...
Pros: Great speed, best reliability, easy setup Cons: a little on the pricey side
the 3Com/US Robotics line of modems has long been known to be the standard all other modems must attempt to live up to. They have always been the most reliable, the fastest, and, well, the most expensive.
Pros: easy to install Cons: their hompage support needs help
While looking for a new modem after being hit by lightning I decided that I wanted to find the cheapest one out there with the most amount of options. When I first saw 3comms modem I was a little unsure because I was not used to working with that...
Pros: Long lasting, upgradable, great warranty... Trade up programs. Cons: None!
Well as far as 56k modems go, this is the best you can get.. I had a US Robotics Modem about 5 years ago.. 28.8 and was upgradeable for 15.00 to 33.6. Which I did... the 33.6 was later upgradeable to 56k thru mail order for 20.00 which I did... that...
wow, i have tried a lot of modems since i am a a big time networker, but nothing has kept me coming back like 3com and their modems. First of all, their prices might be a little steep but in the long run, you will wish that you had stuck with this...
A couple years ago, I received an older PC as a gift. It had a modem installed in it, which turned out to be dead. Fried by a power surge I suppose. So I set off to find a replacement for it.
The modems I found were mostly of the 'Winmodem'...
Pros: Great performance, great speed, customer support Cons: A bit expensive
I recently purchased a computer, an AMD K6-2 500Mhz, 64Megs of RAM. Inside was a 3Com US Robotics 56K Faxmodem. I was reassured. Because I know that US Robotics set the standard in modems.
I have used 3Com US Robotics modems all of my life. I...
