Title: Bad Bad Bad Modem
Product review: Well, I thought I'd vent my frustation with this modem as have most of the other respondents. Best Data's/Conexants' lousy $10 modem is completely disapponting. Though installation was a breeze on my new 600MHz P3 w/win98, the performance is pathetic. Multiple retrys and frequent disconnects are the norm. There's also this really bizzare behavior where the modem's speaker will turn on in the middle of a session and will not turn off (have to disconnect). Tech support web site is mostly useless and I couldn't believe there is a pay per use phone support charge.I have a second 56k modem that I normally use in another PC and it works just fine thank you.I bought this modem with the expectation it would be a suitable backup for my cable modem. It doesn't even meet that low expectation.Best Data's A56FW-PCI Mac 2 modem is junk. Don't buy it.
