I have been using the Zoom PC/2400 internal modem for more than a year, and have found it to be an **excellent** performer. Noise immunity is among the best I have ever found (including Hayes). I routinely use it to transfer large files from my UNIX machine to my PC (kermit) and rarely see any transmission errors. I believe it is available for <$300. I don't have Zoom Telephonics' address right here, but I believe they are in MA. E-mail or call me if you ahve any questions. ============================================================================== Walt Novinger | ...!sun!plx!walt | "Money is like a sixth Plexus Computers, Inc. | waldo@cup.portal.com | sense.
