Review: The perfect old tech Windows-based solution to send faxes - Yes, hard to believe, but even in this high-tech age, we still need to fax some people. Fortunately, for a miniscule investment, you can get this StarTech 56K USB Fax Modem that installs easily and works perfectly using the Windows Fax and Scan that's native to Windows 10. I downloaded and installed the driver and had it sending faxes flawlessly in about 10 minutes. You can send a totally free test fax to FaxBeep.com to prove it. Works perfectly on AT&T's VoIP phone service. It's the perfect brain-dead answer for your few remaining old school faxing needs. Review: Windows 11 security problem fix - Just a heads up! This modem has always worked great, but in June of 2025, it stopped working with a Windows 11 security problem. I did the optional Windows update with no luck. I just fixed it by moving the USB plug from a USB hub to an empty USB on the PC. Works great again!!! ## Features - DIAL-UP & FAX SUPPORT: Hardware-based USB 2.0 Fax modem adds data and fax functionality to your computer / laptop via USB without putting additional load on your CPU; For faxing, rural internet access, security systems, POS credit authorization - VOICE AND CALLER ID SUPPORT: Make and receive phone calls through your desktop / laptop computer; This portable USB modem supports Caller ID functionality and is compatible with most dial-up ISP (Internet Service Provider) networks - DATA/FAX MODE SUPPORT: Data: V.92, V.90, V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22, V.23, V.21 Bell 212A & Bell 103; Fax: V.17, V.29, V.27, V.21 Ch 2, EIA/TIA 578 Class 1 and T.31 Fax Class 1.0; DTMF support - TECH SPECS: External 56K Modem; Data Fax; USB Type A; 1 x RJ11 Telephone Jack; 56 Kbps Down, 33.6 Kbps Up Data; 14.4 Kbps Fax V.92; V.44 Compression; Conexant CX93010-21Z; USB Powered; TAA Compliant - COMPATIBILITY: Drivers available for Windows, Windows Server, macOS (10.9 to 12.x) and Linux (kernel 3.16 and up); Windows Drivers available for download ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01MYLE06I | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,715 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) #24 in Computer Networking Modems | | Brand | StarTech.com | | Built-In Media | 1xRJ11 Cable,1xDriver CD,1xQuick-start Guide | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2, 2016, 2019 Mac OS 10.9 to 10.10 Linux kernel 3.16 and up - LTS Versions only Compatible Devices Windows XP, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 Windows Server 2008 R2, 2012 R2, 2016, 2019 Mac OS 10.9 to 10.10 Linux kernel 3.16 and up - LTS Versions only See more | | Connectivity Technology | Modem (RJ-11) | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 483 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 0.06 Megabits Per Second | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00065030866477 | | Internet Service Provider | ITU-T V.92 / V.90, V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22, V.23, V.21 Bell 212A and Bell 103 | | Internet service provider | ITU-T V.92 / V.90, V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22, V.23, V.21 Bell 212A and Bell 103 | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 3"L x 1.1"W x 0.8"H | | Item Type Name | Data Modem | | Item Weight | 0.03 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | StarTech.com | | Maximum Downstream Data Transfer Rate | 0.56 Megabits Per Second | | Maximum Upstream Data Transfer Rate | 0.36 Megabits Per Second | | Mfr Part Number | USB56KEMH2 | | Model Number | USB56KEMH2 | | Modem Type | Analog Modem | | Number of Ethernet Ports | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 3"L x 1.1"W x 0.8"H | | UPC | 065030866477 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 2 Year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** StarTech.com - **Connectivity Technology:** Modem (RJ-11) - **Internet service provider:** ITU-T V.92 / V.90, V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22, V.23, V.21 Bell 212A and Bell 103 - **Product Dimensions:** 3"L x 1.1"W x 0.8"H ## Images ![StarTech.com 56K USB Dial-up & Fax Modem - V.92, External - Hardware Based USB Modem - Transfer rates up to 56Kbps (data) / 14.4Kbps (fax) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71X5jo8Di3L.jpg) ![StarTech.com 56K USB Dial-up & Fax Modem - V.92, External - Hardware Based USB Modem - Transfer rates up to 56Kbps (data) / 14.4Kbps (fax) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81r0HxR3iFL.jpg) ![StarTech.com 56K USB Dial-up & Fax Modem - V.92, External - Hardware Based USB Modem - Transfer rates up to 56Kbps (data) / 14.4Kbps (fax) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+E+0GyhGL.jpg) ![StarTech.com 56K USB Dial-up & Fax Modem - V.92, External - Hardware Based USB Modem - Transfer rates up to 56Kbps (data) / 14.4Kbps (fax) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71pOSMC-B+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect old tech Windows-based solution to send faxes *by D***. on January 15, 2026* Yes, hard to believe, but even in this high-tech age, we still need to fax some people.
