This modem is a real workhorse. It performs better than any other software modem I've tried. It is compatible with Microsoft operating systems from Windows 98 first edition through 8.1. They CAN be damaged and fried by lightning strikes and power surges, but they last a good while and are not very pricey. My brother & I both use these, and don't really consider anything else. I MIGHT try the USR 5610C Hardware modem some day just to see if the extra money is worth it, but we're way out in the country and I'm fairly sure that the poor quality of the phone lines is the reason for our slow 26 Kb speeds, NOT the modem.

I have a medical office and receive about 15 faxesday, and I send about 30 faxesday (reports, prescriptions, etc.) on 2 Windows 8,1 Win 7, 2 XP's, and 1 Win 98 machines. I'm out of business without fax modems. I use USR5670 modems exclusively.I know that these modems are really manufactured by CONEXANT (Peel the USR label off the largest chip and you'll find a CONEXANT chip. I buy USR fax modems at a higher price than the identical CONEXANT modems feeling that their value to mymedical practice is ever so much greater than the cost of the modem itself.

I ordered two of these for an important project. One stopped working after making a single call, requiring a replacement.My problems didn't end there. Despite getting a replacement, neither of these modems worked reliably. Calls failed to connect half the time, and even when it did connect, it was extremely slow and prone to disconnects. After some testing, trying different drivers and configurations, using them in different computers, and trying other products, we determined the modems themselves were faulty. Using another model from a different company solved all these problems.Three faulty modems. Hours of labor troubleshooting. Just stay away from this product.

I installed this modem on my Windows 7 machine. After system started, the card was recognized, and drivers were downloaded and installed automatically. Works perfectly.Installed on my Windows XP machine, and needed the included CD to install drivers. After that, everything works as it should. No problems at all.Thanks for reading my review.

Installation was very simple; just take off the computer's cover, remove the cover from one of the PCI slots and push this into the PCI slot. Tighten the screw and put the cover back on. It was easy to do!Software installation was very quick. I had a problem with the computer recognizing the modem and called the help line. They were able to direct me (turns out I had another modem software that was controlling the modem's slot-I just turned it off and then this modem's software took over).The package came with fax software that lets me receive and send faxes right from the computer. It's very easy to use and I can see the faxes right on the screen as they come in.Recommended for home or small office.

I was updating my aging Windows XP computer system which had a 56K PCI Faxmodem USR5660A which cannot run under Windows 7. That modem always connected at 45.2Kbps or 44Kbps. So I decided to throw in a new modem which can run under Windows 7.I first ordered the based on user reviews. I immediately returned the TRENDnet modem because it would not connect above 33.6Kbps, didn't have an on board speaker to monitor dialtone and dialup, and would not output dialtone and dialup to my default soundcard and desktop speaker. Amazon promptly authorized the return and refunded my payment including return shipping cost.I next decided to stick with U.S Robotics and ordered the U.S. Robotics V.92 PCI Software Faxmodem USR5670 which looks virtually identical to the USR5560A. The USR5670, however, has drivers for all Windows operating systems after Windows 95 and runs under Windows 7 using the Microsoft drivers included with Windows 7. The USR5670 installed and worked fine in my old computer under Windows XP, but would not connect above 44Kbps. I could not connect at 45.2Kbs as I could with the USR5560A software modem. Though I kept the USR5670, this irked me enough to try still one more modem.I then looked at the , a hardware modem. It works with every Windows operating system from MS-DOS through Windows 7 plus Linux. The modem is a bit pricey, but I quicky found a factory refurbished USR5610C modem available online for only a dozen bucks plus change with free shipping, a real bargain! I ordered one and easily installed it, updating the flash memory with software downloaded from the U.S. Robotics support site. This modem allowed me to again connect at 45.2Kbps, but, as a bonus, it maintained a steadier and faster transfer rate downloading files than any of the previous software modems. In fact, with this modem I was finally able to successfully download a file I had been unable to download from one site after numerous attempts over many weeks.If you need a low-profile PCI modem, the USR5670 includes both standard and low-profile brackets. The USR5610C is a standard size PCI modem and will not fit in a low profile computer case.The bottom line, the USR5670 software modem works okay (4 stars), but if you see a bargain priced refurbished USR5610C Performance Pro hardware modem (5 stars), go for it instead! (Note: make sure you are getting a USR5610C modem, NOT a USR5610A modem. The USR5610A does not run under all Windows systems!)

I installed this in Windows 2003 server as a fax modem, and according to USR it's supported, but they don't mention that the 5670 does NOT support caller-ID.They will mention "call notification", which is a proprietary CallerID-like application that does a screenpop, and doesn't support any OS after XP.They recommend the 5610c, which is $50 more, JUST for CallerID.It works OK as a cheap fax-modem, but you're reliant on TSID (which is programmed on the transmitting fax machine).
