Summary: actiontec int pci modem
Review: I bought this modem 1 year ago and have had great success with it with windows, dos, and linux. As I prefer dos and linux I never had a problem with setting it up with both of these OS's.
I never used any of the software and I don't use the call waiting feature so I can't rate them. This modem worked out so well that I bought 2 more. 1 external and 1 internal and I would buy it again.

Review: I've had this modem for about 1 1/2 years and I regret having bought it and that I didn't return it.First, my connection speed was much worse than my old Winmodem. The Actiontec modem IS a Winmodem, but their sofware hasn't been updated in very long time, and you can't just use the generic drivers because of the call waiting feature. Next, every time I would get an incoming call when not online, I would have to reboot the computer to get the modem to work. And occasionally when I would get a call when online, the call would disconnect as I picked up the phone. I contacted Actiontec customer support numerous times and followed all of their suggestions but most of what they suggested made things worse, not better. The last straw: I just attempted to upgrade from Windows 98 to XP and I can't get the modem to work at all! I just contacted Actiontec customer support and was told that the modem has been out of production for some time, that no software upgrades are anticipated and that it is NOT SUPPORTED in Windows XP! If your ISP supports v.92 then you don't need a call waiting modem, just any v.92 modem. Take my advice and don't get this one!

Review: I've had this modem for about four months and am very disappointed with the support updates. The software supplied for fax and message is very old and not easy to install. When it does install, the modem's voice capabilities are not recognized. The V92 drivers are difficult to install if you're not an experienced user. I've been checking the company's website since I purchased this modem and they have still not updated the drivers to easily install V92 capabilities. Email to support has never been responded to. I would not purchase another of their products.

If you are stuck with a winmodem buy it.

Review: Sep. 2003 Actiontec shipped V90 driver.inf files for all OSs except WinXp. XP driver worked with WinME for me. Modem on hold is NOT V92 compliant and disconnects on all incoming calls. CallWaiting utility reports settings successful but testing in hyperterminal reports ERROR This is a problem with the firmware. Tech support shipped me NEW driver disk, same as old. Kept me on the phone forever, Toll call.
