Anyone who have/had a Diamond Ext. 56K serial modem?

For those that used the Diamond Supra Express External Serial 56K modem, what kind of experience did you have with them? Difficulty in installing and/or connectivity? Unfortunately, my area neglected to provided any type of broadband service. So i'm upgrading from my US Robotics 56K due to my ISP only supporting KFlex it appears. I've installed it but it doesn't seem to get a response from the remote server after it has made the connection. I've reinstalled the DUN and TCP/IP protocols and kinda stuck. Appreciate any ideas.

 
I use to have one and it worked great. I also had internal US Robotics 56K modems and they also worked great.

Only thing is it doesnt have a on off switch or little rubber feet on bottom to grip.. so it was always sliding around until I stuck my own rubber thingys on it.

That particular Diamond 56K modem was listed as the #1 modem back in the days when it first came out.
 
Yeah, I had the internal shotgun modem card it was great too except couldn't take advantage of it and the ISA card was crammed up against my mobo's pwr/reset pins. I was think about USB but then decided to get the serial connector and wondering now if there were issues w/ them w/ the current troubles of installing it.
 
I have that exact modem and it has always worked well for me when it was connected directly to a PC. Worked fine under Win98, Me, 2k, and Linux.

However, when it was connected to the serial port on my router it would dial, connect, then sit there acting stupid. Same phone line, same ISP as when it was connected directly to a PC. The router company gave me a few different modem config lines to try, but none of them worked. I ended up buying a US Robotics (or 3Com or whatever they are called now) external v.92 56k which works just fine.

I've never heard of a dial-up ISP that didn't support v.90. It seems they all support v.90 plus either or both X2 or kflex.
 
i've got one, works great. only problems i ever had was instalation probs, i get rates up to 6kb/s (very good local ISP)
