Works with MacOS 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
The documentation is a bit sketchy one location says it works for 10.6 and below, other location says it works for 10.9 through 10.12. I had 10.8.5 installed on an old Mac and it just works fine. Note - it will not appear in the list of printers when you open the printer setup - click the add printer and it will show up there as "fax". I tested it with dropbox service (hellofax) and the resolution is quite high - both ways. The Mac can also receive faxes, save them, print them or email them automatically. One thing that is missing - it does not generates and official receipt as paper fax machines do (but there is a list of sent faxes if you click the fax "printer" icon (with the print queue etc.) Overall create value for Money. I can also see it appearing as /dev/ttyACM0 dialout without installing any drivers (Ububtu 22.04) but have tested it yet - would also be nice to see if it works on the Raspberry Pi Note - it will not work with IP phone - but it does work with Vonage phone to IP adapter (no sure if they still make those) as it emulates analog phone, and does not filter out too much of the signal -- speed may be affected though.

I didn't have to worry about faxing personal data because I sent it via my own Home Phone Line.
This StarTech USB 2.0 Fax Modem was a big help! Every once and a while it seems I have to fax things. It is getting harder to find a place to economically and securely fax items, but with this fax modem it was easy. It worked good and I didn't have to worry about personal data on my fax because I sent it via my own Home Phone Line. I installed the device on a Windows 11 system. Thanks

Wouldn't Work
I have a Windows 11 laptop. I plugged the Fax Modem into the USB port and the phone wire into the RJ-11 port and the product wouldn't work. After an endless and fruitless search for a driver, I found one on Driver Fusion, but it was only listed to trick you into a subscription to download a driver that doesn't exist: hsf2014w.inf If you can find that driver, the StarTech modem might work. Amazon advertises that the Stargate modem works for Windows 11 to trick you into buying one, only to discover it doesn't work either. These false advertisers scam you out of your money because they know you're searching for them and they bait you in.

Works with Windows 11
Simple 'pig tail' hardware, with 2 LED's [OH] (Off Hook) & [Data], USB 2.0 connection (uses USB 1.1 speed; (20MB's/sec. is WAY fast enough.) for 56K D/L, 33.6k U/L, & 14.4K for Faxing. Installation was interesting, I too had to switch off 'Core Isolation & Memory integrity' I guess until/if they upgrade the driver to re-instate the Core Isolation & Memory Integrity. other than that, it looked like a Windows 3.11 install until I upgraded the install, then it took off. Setting up the Fax software was already set, (just had to upgrade the HW because my other 'Fax Modem' was now 'Unsupported'. All said and done, it's nice, very nice. Has Called ID function, so when somebody calls my Land Line it displays the name/location and the number. It is quieter than my previous internal one, you don't hear the >click< and brief dial tone, dialing the number and connect sound... So I guess it would be better suited for an office environment. it works none the less, the green LED's indicating off hook and data transfer.

Good

Could be a waste of money
It installs but depending on whether it's win10 or win11, it can cause the system to put up a BSOD, despite using the most current device software. It may be convenient for it to be a USB device for use on a mini pc but only if it works as it's supposed to. Would rather have pc card.

Not Many Like This Around
This is a hardware-based, voice compatible modem which makes things like faxing or emulating a dial-up ISP POP (for things like the SEGA DreamCast's homebrew 'DreamPi' solution) possible. Often times people recommend used but commonly available modems, however a new solution is nice to have and integral for making these dial-up adaptation solutions viable. If the voice does not work you may have an older version, contact StarTech directly for a firmware update. Typically the newer batches should just plug and play, mine did. This is also Linux compatible even though it's not stated on the box. The chipsets from 2022 to the time of writing this have not changed, so this should be a consistent solution. A great purchase.

StarTech USB 2.0 Fax Modem, 56K V.92
Perfect replacement to my quit working previously installed USB Fax Modem. Basically, a plug and play. Make checks and changes, select the new fax modem in your fax program and start sending and receiving.

Windows 11 kompatibel
Funktioniert problemlos mit Windows 11 und Windows Fax and Scan. Einfach in die USB-Buchse einstecken; Modem wird sofort erkannt. Was fehlt, ist eine Wiedergabe der Faxtöne. Aber darauf kann man gut verzichten. Für die seltenen Anwendungsfälle, in denen man noch ein Fax braucht, leistet das Modem gute Dienste.

Un modem puro, non un soft-modem!
Collegato e subito riconosciuto. Funziona perfettamente (a me serviva per effettuare delle chiamate). Devo dire che è l'unico dei Modem provato che funziona ANCHE con gli ultimi aggiornamenti di Windows 11 (25H2). Gli altri soft-modem hanno dei driver ormai obsoleti che vengono disattivati / male gestiti da Windows. Questo, invece grazie al chipset Conexant CX93010 NON è un soft-modem (cioé NON si appoggia alla CPU del PC per funzionare) ma fa tutto da sé. Il costo è sensibilmente più alto ma è un acquisto garantito funzionate. Speriamo che duri nel tempo.
