Does not install in XP or OS X [Posted on 2005-08-22] I bought this and tried to install it. CD provided did not meet XP certification and it warned me not to proceed/ I did anyway and modem never ran.
Also stated to bne Mac OX X compatible. No driver on CD or web. I could not use it for either platform so I returned it.
A modem that works with any operating system [Posted on 2006-01-30] I bought this modem so that I could use the internet on a Linux operating system. All my other modems were winmodems --that is, they required Windows to work. This modem was delivered within a week of ordering, and shipping and handling were free. My only problem with it was that while the description stated it would work with Linux, the manual didn't mention anything other than Windows. Also, the only things on the included CD were a copy of the manual in PDF and a Windows driver. This would confuse most users who do not know if a corresponding Linux driver is necessary.
Linux Modem [Posted on 2007-03-12] The purpose of buying this modem was to enable my computer to connect to the internet while running a live Linux distribution.
Since my internal modem is a software modem it could not be recognized easily by Linux. So I needed this external modem.
It worked fine with Simply Mepis and Knoppix.
Ubuntu, Fedora, and Kubuntu failed to recognize this modem.
I have no doubt that someday they will.
