The Connections interface makes exploring and using its features quick and easy. No other modem comes with a software selection so comprehensive, useful and convenient.

What Customers Say About U.S. Robotics 005686-03 56K V.90 External Fax Modem:

Can't believe that upgrading my generic 56k modem to this showed a performance gain of up to 250%. Yes, 2.5x. The generic modem, which most of have nowadays is pathetic. The connection speed is greater and the hardware chip set is phenomenal.

Dial-up connections to the internet are dependent on the quality of your local phone lines. Sure, you can buy an internal modem, but you will not get the kind of bandwidth that an external modem can give you. Not everybody is on Cable or DSL, and not everybody needs that kind of bandwidth. I can get a solid 53.3Kbps connection and you'd be surprised at how fast I can surf and do the common things we do online. Sure, Cable and DSL are great, but do you need to spend [a lot] a month to download your 4k e-mails and read CNN.com.

I made the mistake of upgrading my other modem to the new V.92 standard and it would no longer connect to my ISP so I bought this one. I get great speed, for where I live (15 miles from anywhere) and can use it with the multiple operating systems I have on my computer. Just don't upgrade to the new standard until your ISP does. :)

and answered my question--I suggest email rather than the telephone. I have used this model for a year and I have yet to get disconnected from my ISP. Before I got the Robotics 5686-03 external (also called Sportster model 0701), I got disconnected several times a day. As far as tech support, you shouldn't need it, but when I emailed US Robotics they emailed me back in 24 hrs. I am very satisfied. I think the people who are having problems with this modem are probably newbies messing with things that should be left alone.

I wouldn't want the modems that come with them. I also switched to XP and it picked the modem right up--I didn't have to install any software. Also, buying a serial cable is no big deal. This is a hardware modem and it doesn't need a software program to run like the.winmodems do--just a driver that is already built into windows. Just turn your computer off, plug it in and turn your computer on--what's so hard about that. In short, this was the easiest modem I ever installed and it has given me totally solid connections and the fastest downloads I ever saw.

Get this one and your modem problems are over.

I have never had a single disconnect when using this modem under Linux. I can't say the same for the other OS I used to use. This is a great modem.
