 What a waste of time, money and effort! Nov 13, 1999
This modem is one of the biggest pieces of garbage that I have ever seen. This modem requires MMX for it to work, but yet it is not mentioned anywhere on the box or in the manual. You want tech suport from the manufacture? Forget it. I could not even find this modem mentioned on their website. And if you want to talk to a live person, it's gonna cost you.

There is a such thing as QA Dec 06, 1999
By Will
I just brought this modem tonight; I attempted to install it in my parent's computer. The modem was not detected automatically by Windows as proclaimed in the manual, nor could I get it to be detected from the Win95 Control Panel/Add New Hardware function. I saw the reviews of the other people here on Amazon.com and I agree with their assessment. I do not have a Pentium MMX and at a minimum the "so-called manual should have mentioned the MMX requirement. Even though I paid $ for it from Staples and I've watched the Dallas/New England game (while installing), I never had problems such as this before. I'm taking it back promptly tomorrow.

Ya Get What Ya Pay For Dec 21, 1999
By Mike Fitzpatrick
Best Data's motto should be "Buyer Beware". I'm nomoron when it comes to hardware installation (I built my currentsystem from the ground up), but I couldn't get this working after 5 hours of trying. No dial tone no matter what I do. The "documentation" is laughable and I refuse to pay for tech support that shouldn't be needed in the first place. If you are considering this modem, do yourself a favor and flush the money down the toilet; you'll get the same results with less aggravation.

Best Data A56FW-PCI modem Sep 07, 2000
Please, do not purchase this modem. It is a piece of junk. I have two and neither work. When I tried to call Tech Support I found out they did not give from support. The first thing they ask for is a credit card number and they refuse to take back the modem and replace it. They claim it had to be improperly installed and the tech support doesn't have a clue on helping. All they are concerned with is how long they can keep you on line to charge for the call. DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING THIS MODEM, WHICH WE GOT AT OFFICE MAX! THE STAR RATING SHOULD BE A MINUS 10. IT IS A PIECE OF CRAP!

 Worst Data Products Dec 04, 1999
By Jeffrey J Cristian
I bought two of these (24.95 with a 20.00 rebate) You get what you pay for! Each modem was totally different. 1 worked fine. The other caused the PC to lose video and not boot up all the way up. The software and instructions were different for each modem. I exchanged the bad modem and got a third different modem. This one needs an MMX processor to work (not advertised on the box as a reqrmt) No way to call anyone to complain and web site has no support either!
