Title: Died after about 3 months
Review: Maybe I just happened to get a bad one.Anyhow, I bought a brand new Cendyne External 56K and it died about 3 months later.I verified it's demise with diagnostic software that ran loopbacks and such, on the modem. It failed 2/3rd's of the tests.I run EVERYTHING connected to my PC (except the laser printer)on an UPS unit, both to "clean up" the 110 volts incoming to the PC and to avoid over or under voltage situations.An external modem is great. Lots easier to setup under win98.After my cendyne died, I bought a Multitech modem (business line) and have never had any problems with connections.Cendyne went out of business in 2003, I believe.So if you buy one of these, do it on a credit card that will provide an externded warranty of it's own.Since Cendyne probably can't help you if you modem dies.
