## Description

Review: Excellent for dreampi - The price maybe high but you also get a robust customer service. You can use this to work on a dreampi set up straight out of the box without needing to update to the latest firmware, watch out for a sticker with rev 2, and you're good to go. Despite having the modem and raspberry pi, you still need a line voltage inducer. To get your dreamcast online.
Review: Works with Arch Linux laptop for fax - I originally bought this modem for a nostalgia-filled dialup Internet experience but couldn't find anyone offering the service any more. It tried it with fax and it works fine: installed hylafax and use a2ps to create faxable pages. Works really well outgoing, but not tried it incoming yet. The only thing missing is the famed dialup warble.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***R on 24 January 2026*

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.
