nope.

damn...

Should i just get a v90 hardware modem from Newegg for 40 bucks? Or is v92 so much better that it warrants an additional 20-30 dollarS?

I doubt you would ever notice the difference between the two. Go with the cheaper..

V92 lets you do 56K uploads, which you do notice right away.

Yeah, But i'm going to use Linux...and setting up a modem is the largest B!TCH known to man (atleast for me...)

I would get that v92 for 11 bucks...

but I got the NETODRAGOn from them (10 bucks) and this modem is crap at best...

they say its base on a lucent chipset, but its really SM52, but SM doesn't recognzie it...ugh its horrible.

and the website www.netodragon.com is a JPG image from the Tawisamese Company whose server is hosted in Canada....


I need something that REALLY works b/c I don't want to get f00ked

That Blitzz modem I linked you to @ Newegg has the Lucent/Agere SV92 chip. I have been using one for about two months now with Windows XP. My ISP is V.92 compliant and the difference is very noticeable. I did have to download the new firmware from www.iblitzz.com but everything else works out of the box.
