rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author af_grrl_03 - This modem is junk. I bought it because it was at a reasonable price, and thought that USR was a good name brand. Boy, was I wrong!

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author db7178 - As though the lard of requiring three processes running to support it weren't enough, those processes fail when I access my DVD drives. And that, of course, causes the modem to fail. Trying to reexecute the processes -- two instances of usrmlnka.exe and...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author gilesdad - I bought an emachine summer of 2003 (something I had sworn I'd never do but the price was too good). The modem that was installed in it was of course very low quality. The modem in my old computer is slower at 33.6kbps and usually connected at 31...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author brannd - I hate to admit it, but I ended up buying two of these "paper weights". The first one worked intermittently and eventually quit working completely after a couple of months. I thought it must be the result of a power surge, even though I have redundant su...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author weiwu00 - This modem crashes my system frequently when I am online. After each crash the error message shows that one of its driver file has problem (3c1807pd.sys). That is why I know it is modem's problem instead of browser's problem.
