[comp.sys.mac] ZOOM 2400 baud modem

jvverth@cs.Buffalo.EDU (James Van Verth) (11/19/88)

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.

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.
