Summary: Broadxent Blaster V.92 56k Modem
Comment: One of the best PCI Internal Modems on the market today. I am in rural America with no access to any ISP except dial-up. I use 2 of these on Windows XP machine and MultiLink PPP for a combined speed of 98.5k to 106k making it possible to use most streaming music sites but not quite fast enough for streaming video. These Modems have no problems, they connect and bundle 3 times as fast as older V.90 Winmodems and have user features like "Modem on Hold" that make them a notch above the competition. If you want a Modem that is easy to install and use, this is the one.... hands down.... by far the best.

Summary: Terrible Modem!
Comment: I bought this modem to replace a 6 year old Conexent to see if I could pick up a little more speed. I wasn't expecting broadband, but I at least wanted to get maybe another kbps. Boy, what a LETDOWN! I couldn't get the connection speed above 19200! I'm not exactly a computer beginner and I tried everything that I could get from the software. No results. No matter if the speed was set at 57000 or 115200. Connect speed at 19200! No higher! With download speeds at a pathetic 2.0 kbps, I was beginning to think I regressed back to my old 486-14.4 days!
Also, As one of the other posters said, the software freezes in the middle of the installation. I run Windows Me, and I realize it is not the most stable of OS's but if the System Requirements say it should run on Win Me it should run on Win Me. I got the drivers on but if I didn't push the reset button it would probably still be stuck in freeze mode! Then I checked out the website for driver updates. I had to look long & hard for the model I had, but I eventually found it. The README description was nothing like the drivers. I don't even know if they WERE drivers. I didn't bother trying to install them. I didn't want to make the situation worse. Then, I tried their email tech support, figuring I had nothing else to lose. Mistake again. Oh, they responded the very next day and asked me to do a check on my system configuration, which I did, but after I responded, that was the last I heard from them. This is why I despise email tech support. Most of the companies I've dealt with don't even respond once, let alone actually solve your problems. But I DID get results by taking this failure out and replacing it with a US Robotics 5699B. I know there is more negative feedback about the USR modem than there is positive on that product's site, but I was lucky with it. I connected at 37333 kbps and my download speeds are 4.0 (at least). I can even listen to a sound file while I'm downloading it (which I could never do before)! I'll never buy anything by Creative again. From now on I'll trust US Robotics!
Get ready for a return, Amazon!

Summary: Solid Reliable Modem
Comment: This modem is great!! replaced a US Robotics 5699B which was hanging up and dropping connection. This one holds a solid connection without a hickup. Also, the Netwaiting software, which pops up to show you who is calling and let's you decide if you want to take the call or keep surfing, keeps a record of the numbers that have called you.

Summary: Windows 98 Trouble
Comment: I tried installing the modem software in Windows 98 according to directions and had much difficulty. The software corrupted my registry a number of times, which I then had to restore. Software was poorly designed. I finally got it installed, and it is working fine. However, to avoid headaches, I would look for another modem if you have Windows 98.
