3049 Data/Fax Modem - Serial - 1 x RJ-11 Phone Line, 1 x RS-232 Serial - 56 Kbps Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the Zoom 3049 external serial faxmodem to connect to a Digi 4 port serial-to-USB adapter on our faxserver. I currently have 4 older Boca modems connected to it, but one of the modems is starting to get a little flaky. The Zoom 3049 seemed to have good reviews as a faxmodem, so I thought I'd buy one to test it out. The only problem that I have with the Zoom 3049 is the way the driver is installed. It will not recognize the serial ports on the USB adapter, and a manual installation is looking for an "inf" file (which the Zoom 3049 doesn't have). Older drivers have an "inf" file, but this one simply has an "exe" executable that contains "dll"s. The only thing that I could do was install it on the on-board serial port. Other than that, it's been pretty reliable.

U.S. Robotics 005686-03 56K V.90 External Fax Modem Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was having trouble with disconnects from my ISP (almost every 10 minutes) and they told me that my modem, a Rockwell HCF 56K, was notorious for disconnects with them. A reliable modem is important to me because I run a business here on the web, and when I need to do something I don't want to be disconnected. After shopping around I decided on getting a 3Com US Robotics External 56K Faxmodem. Installation of the modem was extreamly easy...just hook it up, restart the computer, and plug in play does the rest. I had to change my connection properties to use this modem though, but that was also simple. After dialing up I was amazed at the speed. With my old modem, it usually downloaded files at 2 to 3.5 Kilobytes a second (I know that is very bad, but that's how it was), and now my new modem downloads at 4 to 7 kilobytes a second! An amazing improvement! And I haven't been disconnected once.
When you buy the modem you will also have to buy a cable, since it doesn't come with one. My cable is a Belkin DB9 Female/DB25 Male Modem Cable. This modem is a great choice, probably the best.

HiRO V.92 56K Lucent Chipset USB Modem (XP 64bit Vista ready/RoHS) (H50113) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Iv seen a lot of people who seem to have issues with this modem getting the voice functionality to work... It *IS* voice compatible.. But its the way Agere licenses this as a "value added" feature to particular vendors modems that is causing the difficulty
.
Heres the download you need...

Instructions on a third party site that explains how to resolve the issue

Im betting that most of you are just plugging in the modem and *NOT* updating the driver .... Windows built in driver does NOT support voice on the Agere chipset!
