I have had othger modems that fill up your running prigrams with awkward unnecesary filesThis oon eis simple and works and no fancy programsJust use xp built in fax program
I am not very adept at installing software so it could be something I am doing or not doing. I bought this modem so that I could be alerted when I got a phone call. The software doesn't stay on my computer for more than a few minutes, then it disappears. Modem works fine in every other respect. In fact it is on my puter now.
This dialup pci card installed easily & has not given me any trouble. it was economically priced & that was what I was looking for.
The modem never worked but was too cheap to return. It installed okay but would never actually dial out. I found another modem in an old PC in the garage and it worked just fine.
I won't pretend to review the functionality of this device, which others have done just fine. I did this with no luck. When I used this function and asked XP to let me select the modem from a list, the 'Agere PCI Soft Modem' was in the list, as the drivers had apparently successfully installed, so I chose it. I built (January 2008) a new XP SP2 system using an Intel DG965WH motherboard. Perhaps this will work for you if your computer does not find this modem. I installed the drivers as directed, powered down, inserted the modem and launched XP. But I will comment on a problem I and others have had and how it was fixed. On a tech web site I saw the suggestion to use Control Panel / Add Hardware.
The modem was not recognized and did not show up in Device Mgr or using MSINFO32 on the command line. All Trendnet has on their vestigial website is to try swapping PCI slots. I told XP to look for the drivers (even tho' they were already installed) on the CD under the Windows 2000 and XP folder, and the install succeeded. My only use for this modem is to do faxing, which is why I can't comment on the other functions.
