  Is this a gratuitous slap at a competitor or can you cite specifics about
this, recognizing you do have an inherent bias.

  I have been using Zoom products for rather low end modem use and am 
considering some of their new products for higher-end demands (v42bis)
I have noted the new stuff has a 2 year warranty compared to a 7 y\on the more
garden variety ones and would like to truly know if there is a reason
for suspicion.
