DriverGenius USB 2.0 Fax Modem - External V.92 56K Dial Up USB Analog Fax Modem, Only Compatible for Windows 10/8/7 (UM02)

My Windows 7 fax modem would not be function on Win 10. I do not frequently need access to a fax but it is one of those it is one of those things that when you need it you need it! I ordered this item which arrived promptly, plugged in the USB connector ans access to a phone line and Win 10 did a plug and play and I ws sending faxes in less time than it took less time than it took me to write this review. It worked perfectly.

These were plug and play on my Raspberry PI 2 and 3. I had bought 3 of them, one failed after about 4 months of use, but customer support was great and they shipped me a replacement with no hassles. Overall I am happy with they were easy to get running on Raspberry PI

This item was easy to install. It was quickly recognized by my window running Windows 10. However, it did not operated. It was supplied with a disk full of drivers, but it wasn't readily apparent which files on the disk were needed or appropriate for my computer. After asking Windows to go out and search for drivers, twice, the item is now working as expected. I'm happy, but wish more specific written instructions had been provided.

I have windows 11 pro. I have tried everything I know and this software WILL NOT load, install or even show up

Modem worked with no issues. Be aware that this will not fit in the smaller desktop cases without cutting the metal bracket that is screwed to the modem. It is made to fit into the larger ATX computer towers. I had to cut the metal part with a pair of tin snips so it would fit into the case.

When I upgraded to Windows 11 a while back, my free fax software stopped working.I couldn't find a compatible free fax software. I figured I was doomed to pay a monthly fee for faxing software, which I rarely do.I occurred to me it might be my old external fax modem, so I took a chance and bought this.It is easy to install and now I can fax for free again!

My experience with the V.TOP modem was not what I expected, as it's supposed to work with Mac OS10.9.5 (Maverick) according to the manufacturers information "Plug and play compatible for easy installation on Windows xp / 7 / 8.x, Mac OS 10.9 to 10.10.(Not for macOS 10.12-10.13, " I cross checked with other borrowed modems, so I know my system works. It shows in the Mac system report ('sees' it) but it will not transmit regardless of the myriad of Items I checked out including re-configuring. I give it 2 stars rather than 1 because of the excellent response from the seller. They sent me a second unit to try without requiring a return. It also would not fax, and they unhesitatingly refunded my purchase and did not require I return both modems. I bought a U.S. Robotics modem since, which works perfectly. I'd be interested in hearing from Maverick users who had success with the V.TOP modem.

Modems have changed over the years. Once upon a time you'd plug it in, send it a few "AT" commands, and it was good to go.I'm not sure when that changed, but nowadays the modems I get seem to have a "feature" of ignoring initial AT commands while they go check for carrier. Once they prove there isn't any, then they are willing to accept AT commands - like the all important AT VCID=1 command, that turns on caller id detection. Caller Id is why I buy these things, and why I replace them when they inevitably burn out.So the trick I use now is to query them every few seconds with an ATE0 command, and on getting the first "OK" back - takes a while - then I send the enable for caller id and I'm ready to go.This device works when used that way, on Windows 7, so it gets 3 stars. There's no reason why modems can't be designed to handle AT commands right off the bat, so it doesn't get 5. How good it is as a modem I don't know. If I could spend 20$ for a device that only detected ring, caller id, and could be commanded to hang up the line, and could survive lightning storms, I'd never buy a real modem again.
