alright, fridays are difficult thinking days for me.
for anyone who actually has this modem, i meant that the problem file is at the
microsoft address (see attachment), but the zoom upgrades are of course available at:
"http://www.zoomtel.com". the most recent flash update is "iz21899.exe" and it seems
to
make a world of difference.
the strange thing about this whole communications problem is that it seemed like
certain
patterns in specific files were causing the problems with downloads, and yet i had all
the
control characters escaped. it was only a few really specific files that were giving
me
problems (like this microsoft office service release), and i spent the first several
hours
after i noticed the problem by cursing microsoft for instigating some kind of high-tech
download sabotage. at least the time was well spent.
