Diamond SupraMax 56K V.92 USB External Modem
Diamond Supra unleashes the highest performance SupraMax modems with newly
adopted ITU, V.92 and V.44 compression standards.
SupraMax gives you the advantages of extensive analog access to the Internet
with an added boost of speed over earlier standards. These improvements includes
accelerated upstream data transfers (up to 40% faster), faster Internet dial-up
connection times using an intelligent start-up sequence, and advanced compression
algorithms that let you send common file type (such as HTML, e-mail, and executable
files) more efficiently.
The new Modem-On-Hold feature lets you receive incoming voice calls without
dropping your current modem connections. And, because the SupraMax V.92 is backward
compatible with V.90 and earlier standards, you can relax and enjoy faster Internet
speeds without worry.

Additional Specifications
There are four important benefits to the V.92 standard; Quick Connect, Modem-on-hold,
PCM upstream and V.44 data compression.
Quick Connect - by reducing the amount of time it takes for the modem and server
to handshake, connect time is reduced dramatically. Instead of taking around
25 seconds to connect, this may be reduced to 8 seconds.
Modem-on-hold - the end user can put the modem on hold and stay connected to
the Internet. The user can take an incoming voice call, or even place a call
while still connected. When the call is through, the end user can resume Internet
activities without having to re-dial and connect.
PCM upstream - increases maximum upload speed to 44 Kbps.
V.44 - a new standard for data compression specifically for HTML (normal website),
text and other common file types, for faster downloads. Throughput can increase
up to 30-40%. This will supercede the current V.42bis standard.

This is a good modem. The problem is with Diamond''s Tech support. They are VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, that is when you can contact them. I had to register 5 times before it was accepted, the email address comes back as ''no longer working'', and the tech dept has absolutly no idea what they are doing. I got it for the Fax abilities and the software would not install, they told me to go out and buy a fax software program. Tiger Direct is GREAT it got here on time and was a pretty good bargin. But I will never use Diamond again. For anything. I did get the sofware to finally work on my own, but only after 3 days of bickering with the ''So Called'' tech support. And I'm not going to let them know what you have to do, they can figure it out themselves.
