The documentation is a bit sketchy one location says it works for 10.6 and below, other location says it works for 10.9 through 10.12. I had 10.8.5 installed on an old Mac and it just works fine.Note - it will not appear in the list of printers when you open the printer setup - click the add printer and it will show up there as "fax".I tested it with dropbox service (hellofax) and the resolution is quite high - both ways.The Mac can also receive faxes, save them, print them or email them automatically.One thing that is missing - it does not generates and official receipt as paper fax machines do (but there is a list of sent faxes if you click the fax "printer" icon (with the print queue etc.)Overall create value for Money.I can also see it appearing as /dev/ttyACM0 dialout without installing any drivers (Ububtu 22.04) but have tested it yet - would also be nice to see if it works on the Raspberry PiNote - it will not work with IP phone - but it does work with Vonage phone to IP adapter (no sure if they still make those) as it emulates analog phone, and does not filter out too much of the signal -- speed may be affected though.

Non ero sicuro che una tecnologia così obsoleta e tuttora utilizzata fosse compatibile con Windows 11; occorre installare una componente aggiuntiva da facoltativi: fax e scanner. Dopo di che sarà possibile inviare e ricevere fax con il computer

The USB faxmodem was bought largely to receive fax into the Windows PC. The item arrived on time and the setup was just plugging faxmodem into the USB port and connecting the telephone wire into the faxmodem. Then install the driver provided in the tiny CD, and set up your software in the PC to use the external USB faxmodem to receive and send fax. Not much to it. The USB faxmodem has been working steadily since.

My Diamond USB modem with the same form factor as the Startech modem is faster. Pages loads quicker and simple audio works like news. The startech sometimes doesn't even connect to the internet at all. Had it for a short while and then it had all these problems. The reason why I bought the startech modem is because my wife wants one for her laptop. Avoid startech or you will regret it. I'm returning it asap.

I cannot comment on the quality of the device. I returned it because it is not compatible with the latest MAC OS and I am not certain that it is compatible with the latest Windows as well.
