It works on Win 11
This works great on Windows Fax & Scan. Just make sure to launch WFS as administrator! Otherwise, you'll get errors and won't be able to send a fax.

Not Many Like This Around
This is a hardware-based, voice compatible modem which makes things like faxing or emulating a dial-up ISP POP (for things like the SEGA DreamCast's homebrew 'DreamPi' solution) possible. Often times people recommend used but commonly available modems, however a new solution is nice to have and integral for making these dial-up adaptation solutions viable. If the voice does not work you may have an older version, contact StarTech directly for a firmware update. Typically the newer batches should just plug and play, mine did. This is also Linux compatible even though it's not stated on the box. The chipsets from 2022 to the time of writing this have not changed, so this should be a consistent solution. A great purchase.

No hassle
So far Fax works great. Plugged in win 8 and sent instatly. Win 8 apps Fax and Scan was already preinstalled. In case, you have complete instruction in box.

Not compatible with Magic Jack
This unit will not work or will not work reliably with Magic Jack. I received the unit yesterday and could not get it installed and working. I worked with Star Tech support for over an hour and everything we did proved that the unit was sending out the phone number - Magic Jack could not see the number being sent. The tech support from Star Tech was excellent and if the disclaimer that the unit does not work with Magic Jack, I would not have purchased the unit. Further, there are posts on the web that indicate fax modems do not work in a VOIP environment. The product is a sweet product, and it was easy to install - This is not a negative review of the product nor the support that they provided.

If you have to have sound this modem is not for you.
This modem works well. The best way to install it is to download the drivers from StarTech website then install drivers. Then check windows update. Under the Drivers section there will be updated drivers that windows update has found. Install the update drivers and you have the best installation. PS- this modem does not have sound and I was unable to use Windows audio speaker sound no matter what I tried.. I believe sound is not available for this modem. That's the way StarTech designed it.

Works with Windows 11
Simple 'pig tail' hardware, with 2 LED's [OH] (Off Hook) & [Data], USB 2.0 connection (uses USB 1.1 speed; (20MB's/sec. is WAY fast enough.) for 56K D/L, 33.6k U/L, & 14.4K for Faxing. Installation was interesting, I too had to switch off 'Core Isolation & Memory integrity' I guess until/if they upgrade the driver to re-instate the Core Isolation & Memory Integrity. other than that, it looked like a Windows 3.11 install until I upgraded the install, then it took off. Setting up the Fax software was already set, (just had to upgrade the HW because my other 'Fax Modem' was now 'Unsupported'. All said and done, it's nice, very nice. Has Called ID function, so when somebody calls my Land Line it displays the name/location and the number. It is quieter than my previous internal one, you don't hear the >click< and brief dial tone, dialing the number and connect sound... So I guess it would be better suited for an office environment. it works none the less, the green LED's indicating off hook and data transfer.

The perfect old tech Windows-based solution to send faxes
Yes, hard to believe, but even in this high-tech age, we still need to fax some people. Fortunately, for a miniscule investment, you can get this StarTech 56K USB Fax Modem that installs easily and works perfectly using the Windows Fax and Scan that's native to Windows 10. I downloaded and installed the driver and had it sending faxes flawlessly in about 10 minutes. You can send a totally free test fax to FaxBeep.com to prove it. Works perfectly on AT&T's VoIP phone service. It's the perfect brain-dead answer for your few remaining old school faxing needs.

Windows 11 kompatibel
Funktioniert problemlos mit Windows 11 und Windows Fax and Scan. Einfach in die USB-Buchse einstecken; Modem wird sofort erkannt. Was fehlt, ist eine Wiedergabe der Faxtöne. Aber darauf kann man gut verzichten. Für die seltenen Anwendungsfälle, in denen man noch ein Fax braucht, leistet das Modem gute Dienste.

Un modem puro, non un soft-modem!
Collegato e subito riconosciuto. Funziona perfettamente (a me serviva per effettuare delle chiamate). Devo dire che è l'unico dei Modem provato che funziona ANCHE con gli ultimi aggiornamenti di Windows 11 (25H2). Gli altri soft-modem hanno dei driver ormai obsoleti che vengono disattivati / male gestiti da Windows. Questo, invece grazie al chipset Conexant CX93010 NON è un soft-modem (cioé NON si appoggia alla CPU del PC per funzionare) ma fa tutto da sé. Il costo è sensibilmente più alto ma è un acquisto garantito funzionate. Speriamo che duri nel tempo.
