That was the best 56k modem you could buy.  Lots of them still in
production out there for there fax capability.  I've got one in a box
somewhere around here.

I still have one around here somewhere too.  My mom was actually still
using it for dialup up until about 10 years ago or so when I finally
talked her into getting something better.  I definitely agree, the
best modem ever made.

I still have one and use it about once a week. A workhorse of a modem.

Love these modems.

Pro top: HST mode works at full speed on VoIP lines that have lots of
trouble with v.34/v.90/v.92.

The day my stepdad came home with a 14.4K modem from Fry’s to upgrade
my 2400 baud was one of the best days of my teenage life.

Going from 14.4 to 56k was deece but nothing ever beat that first jump
in speed.

US Robotics 9600 HST Dual Standard was the modem to have for hitting
up real pirate boards.
