Pros: Dependable, priced right, 5 year warranty
Cons: None for the modem itself

I have had experience with many different brands and models of fax modems, and I haven't found another brand that is as easy to install and is as reliable as the 3Com (USR) 56K Faxmodem (including the Voice Faxmodem). My partner and I like them so much...

Pros: Easy to install, great connection to internet with no problems
Cons: A little pricey compared to other modems.

Well, when I moved a couple months ago, I forgot to loop my phone line through my UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply...it is a battery backup as well as TRUE line conditioning so it protects against both surges as well as dips in power) and into my modem....

Pros: Great connection speed (sometimes), reliable
Cons: Price, incapability with other OS's

After my experience with a bad Winmodem, I wanted to buy something more reliable and versatile. I had heard everything good about 3Com, and I was willing to give it a try, even if it meant spending more. When I arrived at the store and saw the price, I...

Pros: Greater connect speeds, reliability, voice capabilities
Cons: All-Or-Nothing 56k negotiations can be annoying

Pros: good price, rock solid reliability
Cons: none!

I bought this modem from Outpost.com ($99.95, tax and shipping free!) about three months ago. I have a Compaq Presario 5240 that originally came with a Rockwell 56K modem. Let me say without reservation that the Rockwell modem is an utter hunk of...

Pros: Great connection speed. Reliable.
Cons: None.

This is my second US Robotics (now 3Com) internal modem and I have no complaints. Extremely reliable. Easy to install and set up. Great connection speeds. My first one lasted 2 years with very heavy daily usage, usually about 12 - 16 hours a day. My 2nd...

Pros: fast speed,good connections

Pros: reliablity
Cons: can't think of any

Pros: Connectivity, Speed, Reliability, and performance unmatched by others.
Cons: Price is steep in comparison to the market.

That's one thing you can say for sure about the whole family of 3Com communication devices. They connect - and - they connect with more different brands and types of modems than any other I've ever tested.

This is not what I'm currently using,...

Pros: It's fast, worked right out of the box, & the fax works everytime.
Cons: The "easy" install software froze on my new compaq - 1/2hr+++ wait for support.

I bought a Compaq 7000Z, It had a conexant fax modem installed but no fax software. I tried many different fax programs, I purchased online, but no matter what program I used most of the faxes I sent failed to connect, didn't recognize a busy signal,...

Pros: faster, smoother connection
Cons: if you already have a 56k modem it may not compat and it may not be as fast

I bought this product because after I purchased my home computer the modem that came with it wasn't big enough for my needs. My decision to purchase this modem was helped by the fact that it was a faster, much smoother modem and after researching was...

Pros: one of the best around,hardware decoding
Cons: pricy

The 3com modem is one the best around, now days modems are phasing out, but this is a good one for what it is worth. This modem has the full capacity to accomplish any task it just might take awhile. The Sportster is a very unique modem because it uses...
