Zoom 3049-00-00L V.92/V.44 External Control Fax Modem Review

This modem was a complete disappointment. Despite it advertising high-speed internet capabilities, it was painfully slow and frequently disconnected. The one positive thing about it was the ability to connect to multiple computers, but that was quickly overshadowed by the frustrations of actually using this modem. Save yourself the trouble and invest in a better modem for your computers.

This modem is great. Fast, PnP, easy to set up on Mandrake Linux 8 and Mac OS X. Automatically detected and configured. Windows 2000 shows up the first time and never again (usually). Now that I have a very good internet connection from Linux and Mac, I will never use the Micro$oft operating system again. Thanks to Lucent and Zoom for a great product! After 2 months of using this modem I only received praise, nothing more. It works very well with my Macs and my PCs. OS 8, OS 9 and OS X run…

This modem is marked as Mac compatible. hardware that is. The modem does not come with Mac software. Mac users, look elsewhere. The Zoom 90 modem came with Mac software, but this new version does not.
