K Les Freed Rounding out our trio of vendors catering to the world traveler is Xircom. But what makes the CreditCard stand out is its innovative design.
Installation is a breeze.
The package includes an extensive user's manual containing configuration and troubleshooting information as well as a complete AT command and S-register reference. You'll also find phone numbers for Xircom's U.S. and international support offices. As was the case with Compaq, Xircom did not provide early V.90 code for testing. The modem contains 4MB of flash ROM, which provides plenty of room for the forthcoming free V.90 flash update to operate in either V.90 or K56flex modes. On our 56K tests, Xircom delivered good, even-handed scores across the board.
