Product Description:
The Smart One 56K V.90 Plus USB External Controller-based modem is part of the new generation of V.90 modems with new features that add convenience, give super fast performance and put the Internet-on-hold with the use of a single phone line!This 56k modem is designed to work with Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP and MAC OS 9.x and above to deliver the fastest speeds possible and additional features like QuickConnect and Internet Call-Waiting (Internet Call-Waiting drivers and application for Windows 2000 and XP only). The SmartOne modem supports all the new standard V.92 features with the exception of PCM upstream. This is in addition to V.90 technology currently supported by all Internet service providers. That means it's fast, easy to install and use. With the 56K USB Plus modem you get it all! Faster Web browsing. Faster Internet Access. Faster connect speeds. Take phone calls while online (Windows 2000 and XP only).The V.90 Plus introduces new features like Quickconnect, which reduces the start-up time required to establish a connection. This makes getting on and off the Internet a breeze. Quickconnect works with your Internet service provider's central site equipment to cut the connect time by 50% or more. Now you also get faster download speeds with V.44/6:1 compression delivering up to 25% more through put. This ITU-T standard compression algorithm downloads files, graphics and video faster from the Internet. Now you can receive phone calls while online and put the Internet-on-hold! With Internet call-waiting you will never miss a phone call. There is no longer a need for a separate modem line.

Don't bother buying this if you have a version of windows newer than XP. Tha means if you have XP w/ SP2, windows 2003 or Vista you can forget about using this. When the drivers are loaded your PC will BSOD. Hacking the drivers will allow the PC to function but he modem does not.
Stay away.
