- Yes, I can tell you something about Zoom modems, although I certainly
- haven't seen ALL of them. However, based on my experience with them,
- my advice would be to stay away from it. The modems have problems and
- it's not easy to reach their Tech Support OR their Warranty Service
- people - you always get an answering machine, it seems. I didn't like
- that very much, nor did I like the problems that the modem itself was
- having.
