- Well, they seem to have worked very well for people in the US. I bought
- three modems from Wolfgang and none of them worked very well here in Sweden.
- The problem was that they didn't connect 14400 when calling another V32bis.
- It did work when someone called me though.
-
- Another problem was to connect at all to some 2400 modems.
-
- I have got two ROM-upgrades, but neither did any good.
-
- The fax-part worked very well.
-
- Anyway, if you have 30days money-back-gar., buy one and test it.
