The Zoom 2987 Modem works fine with Tony Hawks. The Multitech MT5634ZBA does NOT.
Today I spoke to the editor of PSI2 magazine, just before Xmas they bought a Zoom modem (after spending half a day locating any of the suggested modems anywhere in the UK).
It works fine and costed £37 plus £10 P&P, quite cheap eh !
Today I phoned their supplier to discover the modem has now gone upto £55 plus P&P.
Do you smell a rat ?? or is it just coincidence ??
I won't name the retailer, yes I will it is procom-gb.com, I'm sure SR won't mind me mentioning another company due to the circumstances.
Has anyone else had anymore joy on the modem front ?

I think we should just all wait for the official sony one, because at least we know it will work with all titles, and its 56k/BB built in one.
The same thought crossed my mind, is the official Sony modem external via usb or does it plug into a port in the back ?
The other issue of course is - will a THPS3 compatible modem work with future titles that are online capable?
I appreciate that the issue may be more 'PS2 compatible' rather than THPS3 compatible but it would be pretty annoying to get a USB modem that ONLY works with THPS3.
I'm presuming that the official Sony release will be guaranteed to work with all titles.

The modem is not on their site, but if you phone them, they have it in stock. Don't know, they may sell the other suggested ones aswell ???
In the interest of supporting our customers and my need to play THPS3 online ; ) I searched the aforementioned site for the Zoom modem and it appears that is no longer available.
Methinks the UK gamers have been duped!
All the modems I have tried seem to be under powered, almost as if the PS2 USB socket doesn't put out enough wattage to get the modem going
I will not give up, I will find an inexpensive external USB modem that works with a PS2.
As soon as I have I will be back with details
Must get online.......must get online.......must get online......

looks like it.
Everyone suddenly lost interest in modems for THPS3 then? :-)
