Summary of ConclusionsSummary of Conclusions

HCL’s testing showed that the 3Com Megahertz PC Card modem, model 3CXM756, achieved consistently higher throughput than the others, across the network model, on each RAS tested. In some RAS configurations, the Xircom and IBM products failed to achieve true V.90 speeds over 50% or more of the network model. By contrast, the 3Com product achieved true V.90 speeds 70% to 80% of the time, making it the only viable choice for users who require maximum return on their V.90 modem investment.
