I recently received letter from these people, offering me a 2400 Baud modem (Hayes compatible), plus communication software, for $149.00. My question to y'all is, do you know anything about this company? (Zoom, Inc. I guess is the name) Anything about this modem -- its reliability, etc.? It's certainly a good price for a modem -- so good that I'd like to find out a little more about it before forking my money over (caveat emptor and all that). So if you have any information, please reply by mail, and thank you for your time. -- Jim Van Verth jvverth@cs.buffalo.edu "Baseball is a simple game.

I just got an offer in the mail to purchase a ZOOM 2400 baud external modem for $139. This is apparently $80 off the suggested price. Has anyone else received this offer? Is ZOOM a reputable manufacturer? I'll be glad to summarize responses. Thanks in advance.

I bought one of these about 6 months ago, and have had no trouble with it, except that it is a bit more sensitive to line noise than comparable Hayes that I have used. For the price it is really a great buy. Dave Waller Workstation Group Hewlett-Packard Co. Pacific Technology Park Sunnyvale, CA (408) 746-5324 [ucbvax!]hplabs!hpdstma!dave
