- Well, despite all the negative feedback you have received so far, I like
- the zoom modems. We have two at work, one internal, and one external. I
- have had no problems connecting at 14.4 with my WorldBlazer. Nor, as far
- as I know, have any of our customers. There has been some problems at
- 9600 bps, with some modems, tho... And to get proper high speed fax
- connections, you need to run a complicated setup procedure, which tests
- and stores some line quality statistics. It is suposedly documented, but
- I couldn't find it. The Tech-Support people gave me the command, and then
- everything worked fine.
