TRENDnet 56K Internal PCI Data/Fax/TAM Modem (V.92, Agree Chipset) Reviews
it was economically priced & that was what I was looking for. This dialup pci card installed easily & has not given me any trouble.
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 built (January 2008) a new XP SP2 system using an Intel DG965WH motherboard. On a tech web site I saw the suggestion to use Control Panel / Add Hardware. My only use for this modem is to do faxing, which is why I can't comment on the other functions. All Trendnet has on their vestigial website is to try swapping PCI slots. 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. 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. Perhaps this will work for you if your computer does not find this modem. I did this with no luck. The modem was not recognized and did not show up in Device Mgr or using MSINFO32 on the command line.
I won't pretend to review the functionality of this device, which others have done just fine. 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.
My best connection speed with the old MODEM was 28.8 Kbps. After installing the new one my best and most frequent connection speed is 36.0 Kbps. Be sure to FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY and you should have no problems with this MODEM. I purchased this MODEM to replace the one that came with my computer a few years ago. Read the instructions BEFORE you do ANYTHING and your installation should be every bit as fast and easy as was mine. This has been a great improvement in page loads.
It works as promised and it was a very easy installation. Most of the time people have problems installing a piece of hardware because they do not follow the instructions.
