Best Data Products "Smart One" Internal 56K PCI Modem
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.
Didn't Play with Win2K
Rating: 1/5
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.
