It is cheap - I picked mine new off ebay for about $25, I am told they have a lifetime warranty. It also supports identi-ring, and call display. I use mine with hylafax for sending and receiving faxes. It says that hyalafax has support for class 2.0 but I only use it as a class 1 modem, which seems to work fine. I have done some research on the subject and havn't found a modem that comes close in terms of value vs features.
