Zoom 3090-00-00 V.92 / V.44 USB External Controllerless Fax Modem

After reading other reviews I was a bit sceptical about purchasing the Zoom 3090-00-00 external USB modem. But I went through with purchase and have had nothing but great success with the modem. I installed the drivers on my laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo D 8800, Win XP Home) and my PC (EMachines Tower 533id, Win 98SE). On both of the machines the connection speed is great (45 Kbps) even though I have a poor telephone line. Once I change out the old cable on my telephone line for a better one I should be getting a connection speed better than 50 Kbps. Just make sure to follow the instructions and the recommendations from other reviewers and you will not be disappointed. Also, make sure to use the driver for Win XP users that is available on the Zoom webpage and not the one on the CD that comes with the modem.

I am writing this to clear some of the reviews for products I have bought through Amazon. This is an old product but when I bought it, it never worked to satisfaction. So much so, that I never really used it and should have returned it. But I guess this is now not even offered for sale.

I hooked up the modem with no problems. I am running windows 98 SE on and HP e-vectra. It is great that this modem supports the new V92 standard. Good deal.

I've had problems with my previous modem, it kept disconnecting on me. This new modem by Zoom was very easy to install, and my computer detected it right away. It connects to the internet in no time at all and now I never get disconnected. I've owned it now for two weeks and am very impressed. The price is very affordable too, especially with the rebate! The only thing is that it has not connected at a faster speed but I think that has more to do with the phone lines in my area. It is a great modem and easy to use!
