- Not microsoft digitally certified
You'll get a strong suggestion from MS Windows XP not to install it for that reason.Aside from that problem, another is that it's controlless, meaning forget about using with Linux, and expect poorer performance (for instance, I could not download Open Office with it though I tried about ten times, my old serial modem did so the on first try). Also, it lacks modem lights, which are useful for a quick check of whether or not it's on, and/or receiving/sending data.It's marketed for travel use with ... Read More

- can't stay connected!
What's the point of having a modem if it doesn't work properly?I haven't been able to stay connected to the internet.Looking at the connection signal at the bottom of the window, after about 30 seconds, the transfer signals are off.Shortly after I can disconnected.First I thought it was my computer or my ISP but I barrowed another modem and I stayed connected for hours!

- good
when i had just purchase this item it was good because i was running window 98 but now i had upgrade to window xp and it require for your computer to run 730mg and faster my computer only run 500mg. so if i want it to work again i would have to go back to window 98.

- works, but not ideal
I got this product because my old faxmodem died and I needed something. It was the cheapest external I could find (and even cheaper with a rebate from Zoom).
Plusses:
- USB means you don't need an AC adapter (it supplies power as well as connectivity).
- No need to plug into a serial port.
- In my tests of FAXing and connecting via dialup, the modem works fine.
Minuses:
- See the little colored lights in the picture above? In the modem I got, these are replaced ... Read More
Rating: - I'd give it zero stars if I could
I bought this modem to overcome terrible phone lines made worse by constant construction and HOW this modem made the top of a multi-unit comparison I'll never know. Since the day I installed it it's been non-stop frustration.
Even as late as 2002 the XP drivers for the modem--online or not--cause more trouble than they solve. Even at the highest speeds I can connect with, all I usually get are "Cannot Find Server" screens because of the transmission lag, despite Zoom's highly touted increase in speed ... Read More
