Customer Reviews:

Didn't Play with Win2K [Posted on 2002-03-18]
I decided it was time to buy a 56K modem and thought that price wouldn't matter, so I bought the lowest priced modem. I installed the board no problem, but Win2K didn't recognize the card as a modem. I tried to update the driver with the software on the CD and with the latest driver downloaded from the web. Neither did the trick.

So, time to call tech support. Well, they provide a number for tech support that costs $[money] per call. So I decided not to pay tech support for a product that didn't install. I exchanged it for a Creative ModemBlaster V.92 for $[money] more. Win2K installed the drivers automatically. I was up and running in less than 5 minutes. So I'd recommend the ModemBlaster.

Defective products, poor Quality [Posted on 2003-04-28]
Shipped defective product twice. Extremely poor technical support. I needed a modem to plug in and forget. With Best Data modem, this became a major headache! I strongly recommend avoiding this product and the company. Would rather pay few $$ more and get what I want.

non approved by WINDOWS? [Posted on 2004-09-13]
I (re)loaded WIN XP and the BEST MODEM that HAD been working fine, didn't work with the new OS. The CD that had the driver info couldn't be found by the system...I had installed this previously and it worked fine, but this time? I dunno....
