- The latest isue of PC Magazine (Vol.11 No.21 Dec 8,92) reviews 13 different
- FAX/Modems.
- Based partly on their revies, and partly on comments from this
- group, I have decided to purchase the ZOOM V.32bis FAX/Modem. The only
- modem that beats it in (list) price is the Supra, and you all know how
- well that one has gone over here. As far as mail order goes, the ZOOM can
- be obtained for the same price as the Supra ($249 external) and performs
- better than some higher priced modems (Pratical 14.4, and even the Hayes
- Optime 14.4 in some tests) I operate on a Micro-Channel machine
- (proprietary bus structure for those of you lucy enough not to know what
- that means) so I had to either settle for an external modem or go to
- the high-dollar MCA bus modems. The ZOOM seems to me to be the performance
- versus price bargain of the bunch. If anyone out there knows better,
- please feel welcome to correct me, and if you know of a better price for
- an external 14.4 FAX/Modem *please* let me know.
