Product Description
3Com has a solution for small offices that have one phone line but need to connect more than one person to a LAN and to the Internet. OfficeConnect 56K LAN modem incorporates a high-speed modem, 4-port Ethernet hub, IP router and pass-through voice port into one device. It allows small offices to establish a LAN plus access the Internet with just one analog phone line. It works with any PC, Macintosh or UNIX workstation with an Ethernet interface that runs TCP/IP and is compatible with any frame base Web browser. This device is designed to be easy to install with its included cables and ISP Wizard, which automatically configures the ISP connection. OfficeConnect 56K LAN meets V.90 standards and is fully backward compatible with X2 technology. The Ethernet interface and LZS (Stac) data compression feature cut down transfer time and provide fast connections for the computers on the LAN. The multiuser connectivity interleaves traffic from each computer on the one 56K line. The point-to-point tunneling protocol means no extra static IP addresses are necessary and data is secure through a corporate intranet. Its diagnostics display operation, call, user port, and progress status.

56k Lan Modem is much better than expected. October 19, 2000
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Upon connecting this thing up I was pleasantly surprised, because everything worked the first time. It even dialed the home website to see if a firmware upgrade was available and I then received the new feature set which included support for up to 25 users. The web browser (password protected) set up, gives the network administrator complete control over user defined access and includes multiple ISP setups. A complete set of browser accessible manual troubleshooting/maintenance functions is included. This is probably the only PC related product I have ever purchased that I was completely (and more) satisfied. I am right now considering a DSL upgrade because DSL in now available in my area, but until I find a router which has all of the features of this unit, it will be hard for me to change. If you are in an area where you cannot get high speed DSL or cable access than this is problably the best thing going. I find that I get close to 56k reliably on downloads from my ISP. The multi-user functionality works flawlessly. One drawback is you will need to use an ISP which gives you the DNS settings which is not something the free ISP's like to do. AOL is also not supported by direct dial connection to AOL numbers (must be connected via TCP/IP to the LAN modem through another ISP), but if you're like me you don't want to use AOL anyway.
