Yes, it is a gratuitous slap at a competitor, which I probably 
shouldn't do even if it is true.  I don't know about Zoom products
from personal experience, but base my comments on many, many reports 
that I've seen on CompuServe of recurring problems with Zoom modems.
It's sort of "conventional wisdom" on IBMCOM Forum to avoid Zoom
products. Sorry; I should have qualified the source of the comment
when I initially made it.
