What Others Say
Works great for me, but I run Win Xp
No problems so far with this neat little modem. I still fascinates me that my first phone modem was about the size and weight of a brick, and was 2.6K. Even though the modem is "controlled" by Windows, the performance has not suffered. I use it with my Acer Aspire One notebook running Windows XP with Netzero as an ISP.
The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is the construction of the modem. It is plastic and light, and I think it would benefit from a rubberized coating. I also understand, however, that the construction is a necessary for the modem's cost effectiveness.
Junk....
poorly worked and died a week after I got it. but I was concerned when I got a warning saying reccommend do not install becasue cerifcate was not certified by microsoft! anyone who have to use the modem for fulltime internet dont waste ur time on this or money.
Good Product
The unit was simple to install and worked as advertised. TRENDnet 56K USB Data/Fax/TAM Modem (V.92, Kflex56) provides evidence that low cost is not an indication of low performance.
Completely Worthless!
I couldn't use it. Nothing but a piece of JUNK! Don't waste your money because that's all this modem is, a total waste of money!

The fact is that fewer laptops come with built-in modems and some of us mobile and rural users still need modems connected to our laptops for business reasons. Sensitive governmental, utility, security, financial and medical organizations, require staff to log into their systems and networks via special toll-free numbers for good reason - they don't trust Internet security and need to minimize the risk of being hacked. ...
