- DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT, BUY A MAXTECH 28800 INTERNAL, MODEL NUMBER
- XM2888RI. I have gone through two in a week and cannot get either one to
- work right. The first one just never connected and the second works for
- a while at "MOST" speeds then hangs up. Or it will work until you try
- to down load something. It will download like two percent and then
- hangup. I am using a packard Bell 486sx2 and have tried every setting I
- could think of or could look up in the one page "USERS" manual. It's a
- damn joke and if I could sue I would but I am taking it back and getting
- my money back. I won't even give them the satisfaction of having my
- money for another week. If any one knows what is wrong, besides just
- telling me to try different com ports, I will be forever grateful. I
- will give it a day or two for responses and if not I will take it back.
- Something else that is a joke, NO "800" number for support. In my book
- that is the FIRST sign of a really BAD business. Even their homepage is
- a joke. It is a one page thing, with no information, just a link to an
- FTP site, with bull shit files. And only like 8 or 9 of them at that.
- There is absoluty NO email address to ask for help, or even an email
- address to the guy who wrote the page. So, in conclusion, if you have a
- working Maxtech modem consider yourself very lucky. If you are planning
- on buying one, you would be better off throwing your money in the toilet,
- pissing on it, and then flushing it. And if you like like wasteing time
- and money then hell, send it to me. If any one knows these people,
- th=ell them they have an extremely unsatisfied customer, who is spreading
- the word as fast as possible. In fact Two different people who tried to
- help me hook it up, are in the computer buiseness. And I tell you they
- will definitly never recommend this modem.
-
- Well enough bitching. I would like to thank you for reading this, and
- passing this information along. Plus if any one would like to respond,
- plus respond in email, as I never read these newsgroups other then to
- inform other consumers about bad products. If nothing else PLEASE spread
- the word.
- Thank you.
