Arg! This is indeed a winmodem according to the USRobotics website. I knew to avoid those like the plague, but since the modem cost twice as much as all the other modems and it didn't say winmodem anywhere on the box I figured it was safe. I thought USR was reputable. This sucks. I feel duped. Off to the store to replace this....
