USRobotics offers V.92* Technology — including a FREE upgrade for select models!

v.90 was ancient in 2001. Plus there was an update to it offered mid-decade somewhere in there, I applied it myself.

We do live on different planets than and I pity yours were they sell computers without any modems in them - but apparently you have to buy them as add-ons. Every desktop in the free world comes with a built in dial up modem as well as laptops, and notebooks. The industry changed over to software wireless modems as opposed to wireless cards (NIC) at the release of Windows Vista and all shipped with those pre-installed which used to be buy a card as extra like Sierra Wireless - though the laptops and notebooks still have a card slot for one as an extra purchase.

Now if you didn't get that in your purchase of all five of your computers then you were seriously ripped off and ask anyone in this group.

I M out of here !
