Planex Communications' new PL-US56K2(A) USB modem just hit the market. For around $40 on Amazon, this retro device connects to your PC via USB, allowing you to access analog phone lines for internet connectivity, data transfers, and even fax capabilities.

Sure, the speeds are laughably slow by modern standards, with a theoretical maximum of 56 Kbps for downloads. But hey, they should still allow you to browse Gmail – though you'd likely have been better off switching to the basic HTML version if Google hadn't killed it off earlier this year.
