Zoom is certainly NOT NeXT-specific...however, the Zoom modems work just fine with the NeXT (that's what I'm using now). As I understand it, Mac modem cables do not work with 68040 NeXTs, just 68030. You should buy the one from NeXTConnection, making sure you specify a modem cable for an '040 machine. Timothy Buck timbuck@vtvm1.cc.vt.edu (preferred), jbuck@vtssi.vt.edu, OR Tim.Buck@bbs.oit.unc.edu
