Review: The perfect old tech Windows-based solution to send faxes - Yes, hard to believe, but even in this high-tech age, we still need to fax some people. Fortunately, for a miniscule investment, you can get this StarTech 56K USB Fax Modem that installs easily and works perfectly using the Windows Fax and Scan that's native to Windows 10. I downloaded and installed the driver and had it sending faxes flawlessly in about 10 minutes. You can send a totally free test fax to FaxBeep.com to prove it. Works perfectly on AT&T's VoIP phone service. It's the perfect brain-dead answer for your few remaining old school faxing needs.
Review: Windows 11 security problem fix - Just a heads up! This modem has always worked great, but in June of 2025, it stopped working with a Windows 11 security problem. I did the optional Windows update with no luck. I just fixed it by moving the USB plug from a USB hub to an empty USB on the PC. Works great again!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect old tech Windows-based solution to send faxes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Windows 11 security problem fix

### ⭐ Wouldn't Work
*by J***. on December 20, 2025*

I have a Windows 11 laptop. I plugged the Fax Modem into the USB port and the phone wire into the RJ-11 port and the product wouldn't work. After an endless and fruitless search for a driver, I found one on Driver Fusion, but it was only listed to trick you into a subscription to download a driver that doesn't exist: hsf2014w.inf If you can find that driver, the StarTech modem might work. Amazon advertises that the Stargate modem works for Windows 11 to trick you into buying one, only to discover it doesn't work either. These false advertisers scam you out of your money because they know you're searching for them and they bait you in.
