The Olitec USB ADSL V92 Ready is clearly a state of the art device designed to save space, time and money. Combining a V92 modem to an ADSL modem is simply a genius idea. The time when you had to juggle with several modems to keep access to analogue services is over thanks to the creativity of Olitec’s engineers. Actually there’s no such complete ADSL modem out on the market able to compete with Olitec’s product. Not only this product is complete and powerful but its drivers are highly reliable. This is a major advantage for those of you that are on the look for a USB modem with rock-solid drivers. The final argument that pleads for this ADSL & V92 modem is its relatively affordable price. All-in-all and despite a poor faxing software, this Olitec USB ADSL V92 Modem is simply a monument of quality, innovation and performance we strongly recommend to every ADSL users.
