Title: A Modem To Avoid!
Review: I've had 3 of these atrocious modems foisted on me by Dell.I don't ask for a lot from a modem. It needs to not breakdown, and to be able to handle somewhat noisy lines withoutlosing too much throughput. The CBM56WBG fails in both regards.The longest I've had one work was 3 months. They've failed forvarious reasons, so I have to believe there is a real qualityissue here with Xircom.Even a small amount of noise will really crimp your downloadswith this modem. It seems to be really intolerant of linenoise. I can rarely connect at any speed highly than 45.3Kbps,and my effective throughput is usually 60% or less of that. Sincewe live like gypsies, I've been able to test this modem froma number of locations, both urban and rural, and the resultis similar in all cases.Finally, you get a XJack connector with this modem. Beprepared for inadvertent log-offs as you adjust the positionof the laptop and the cable disconnects.
