Well, I have a surprise for you. I thought this ZOOM was just a
2400 V.42bis, but it turns out to be a 9600! I was so certain that
it was 2400, that I didn't try to do anything else with it -- until
I realized I hadn't tested it for anything higher. So this old ZOOM
zoomer just got zoomier (sounds almost like a song!). Anyway, I'm
getting tired of working with the USR Courier (without any different
results), and besides, I rather like the ZOOM -- even better at 9600.
It love how it sounds when logging on -- like the full pedal blast of
a cathedral organ with J. S. Bach at the keys... <g>
And they *did* make a 9600 USR Sportster. I have one that I'm going to
give away to someone else...
So it looks like the ZOOM is probably early 1990s.
