So I did a lot of research on the best and easiest modem to get for my parents who unfortunately still use dial-up; based on the other reviewers I went ahead and purchased this one and it worked perfect. The plug-and-play was so easy, it installed itself but I did download the drivers off the US robotics website just in case. It's small and takes up no space which is perfect and connected to the internet without any trouble. So for others looking for a dial up mode..
