Modem Reviews

I have yet to find anything that this wouldn't do in regards to your typical financial calculator. Add in some bonuses such as a more visual, intuitive approach to dealing with TVM and Cash Flows and this is a much better (and cheaper) choice for HandSpring owners than buying an HP calculator.

Need to network computers on different floors? This product can be used as a bridge or as an interface for an individual machine. All I had to do was take the units out of the box, plug them in to the power line and the Ethernet switch (using the supplied patch cable), and it all worked right away. Just a word of warning, though; you can't plug these into a surge protector (including any surge protector inside a power strip.)

Kingston Technology's Compact I/O 56K modem, model CIO56K, is designed for use in Windows CE-based Palm PC or hand-held computers.

The CIO56K modem supports ITU-T V.90 standards and the K56Flex protocol. Included with the unit is a Compact Flash PC Card adapter that allows the CIO56K modem to function as a standard PC Card, making it compatible with many of today's notebook computers.

For the price, no doubt. Buy it.

Hey, it connects the computers, and it works, so what more could I want?

This modem is certainly the Cadillac of all modems. I have four MultiTech modems and, after suffering from inferior modems for years, I now am perfectly satisfied (and happy!).

It is infinitely configurable (it can be used anywhere in the world (hence, Global Modem) and it can be connected to just about anything that has copper in it - dial up, two wire, four wire, leased) and it also has a two line LCD display. This is certainly by far the fastest connecting (in terms of time to establish the connection with your ISP) modem that I have ever owned (out of a total of ten or so).

Note, that, in exchange for pefect reliability you may have a slight sacrifice in connection speed. I noticed that it was connecting a bit slower than my previous modem on this computer and discovered that the passive (telephone line operated, ie without a connection to the AC wiring for power)telephone was loading the line, resulting in the lower connection speed. Replacing the telephone with a modern one solved that problem)

Also, make sure that 1) you update the firmware and 2) you update the drivers from the Multitech website. The newer result in slightly faster connection speeds.

All in all, when you consider the hassles of unreliable modems it is simpler just to pay the premium price and get the best.

I see that currently this modem is not available here on amazon.com. It is a current production item and it is available, if not in the future from amazon.com then from many other sources)

I have tried many ISDN routers, and this bar none is the best available. Easy to set up and recommended by all major ISDN service providers.

I always thought it was ridiculous that I ad to plug the palm modem into a phone outlet, but I was expected to use batteries for power. If I've got access to a phone outlet, I've probably got access to power as well. This is an extremely obvious Good Purchase.

This product is great for people that need a great pager i mean its the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
