Review: 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.
