Napco Modem

I bought one of their modems several years ago. It worked straight out of the box. If your's is giving you trouble, send it back. They're pretty good about warrantee issues.

I prefer the Cardinal MB2400EX. It works with just about anything except FBI.

I have a couple of the Cardinals and they work just fine with Napco software.

Note: If you don't have the PCI 2000 interface then you have to leave a phone off hook to maintain your connection. I have done it in a pinch, but its easier to just get Napco to send you an interface package or two if you have more than one downloader computer.

I have the old Hayes for FBI.

I use a USR Sportster for Caddx because it transfers faster.

I use a desktop speakerphone with a mute button.

I don't know if it's the PCI2000 interface giving me problems, or if it's the modem........... I'm thinking about switching to something that doesn't require the crazy interface...........

I sent you an e-mail direct...... I have some questions..... Regards, Russ

Not sure. Its just the modem I had hooked up when I started the software.

I use it quite a bit for Napco, haven't had any problems and haven't had to do any fiddling with it

Mine isn't using the PCI2000 interface

Only thing I don't like about that modem is the speaker can't put out enough volume.

Then again I may be going deaf...

I got it working...... It helps when everything is connected correctly :-))

Jim,

I got the StarComm Modem working... However, I'm still interested in the Cardinals... Regards, Russ

Stick with the StarComm, it uses a standard AC transformer you can get anywhere, the Cardinal has like a 9-pin din connector and a low volume speaker
