HiRO V.92 56K AGERE Chipset PCI Fax Voice Modem( XP 64bit Vista ready/Linux/RoHS)
This review is from : HiRO V.92 56K AGERE Chipset PCI Fax Voice Modem ( XP 64bit Vista ready/Linux /RoHS) (H50006)
An OK Modem but Maybe Not for Linux . Despite the fact that this modem is advertised by some as a "Linux" modem, it is unsupported by open-source linux drivers. The only linux drivers available for this modem are proprietary and come on the disc with the modem. The drivers are written for several specific versions of specific distros, virtually all of which are two or more years old and have been supplanted by more current versions. If you are running a version of linux other than SuSE 9.1/9.2, Mandrake 10.1, Red Hat 8.0/9.0 or Fedora 3/4, forget about this one- it is a winmodem and you will never get it to work.

HiRO V.92 56K AGERE Chipset PCI Fax Voice Modem ( XP 64bit Vista ready/Linux /RoHS) (H50006) Reviews
Excellent Data Fax Modem . I think it is odd that this modem gets outstanding reviews everywhere but Amazon. 80+ users at Tiger D. think this is a 4.6 star modem. I have owned one that got zapped in a lightning storm and replaced it another. They work great. I need the occasional fax program, and since Win 7 includes that nice "Fax and Scan" program I am set without spending much money.
Too few modems work properly in Visa and Windows 7, especially the 64 bit editions. This one was recognized by both Vista and Win 7 at boot with no problems. I believe it's the Agere chip set that Vista and Windows 7 both seem to favor.

works fine . Ordered this modem for my old Dell Desktop with Windows XP. I wanted to use it with my Phonetray software, and be able to fax with it. It works fine for both. I have a Lexmark copier/scanner/printer, and using Windows Fax, I can send and receive faxes with it. It is not hard to install, and has done everything I have asked from it. Also, it is inexpensive, so I am giving it 5 stars. This modem works fine for voice and fax with XP.

Cons Review
Doesn't work as a Voice Modem . Two different programs, including the one that came with the modem, do not recognize this as a voice capable modem.
Unusable . Both Plug 'n Play installation and the supplied CD Driver installer repeatedly hang Windows XP SP2. The modem is unusable. I'm returning it.
Is not compatible with new motherboards . The product description says it is compatible with systems running vista. Computers running vista and windows 7 have newer design motherboard. This card did not fit into any of available slots on my windows 7 64bit mother board. I return the items for refund. The one start rating is for quick delivery as was expected.
