For those who are thinking about buying the Zoom modem, which sounds like
an OK deal at $169: A friend of mine purchased one of these at a local
computer show for either $109 or $119 (no cable or software, but a cable
should only be about $15 and Kermit is free).  The dealer selling them
had purchased bunches of the things and was running a special for the
duration of the show.  You too may be able to find a better price than
$169 if you look.  (By the way, his modem seems to work just fine).
