- I would not recommend Zoom to anyone. Take it back as soon as you
- can. I have had nothing but problems. Someone I know here at the
- school I go to can also vouch for this. He told me that their 14.4's
- are ok, but the v.34 have a lot of problems. He knows this from his
- own experience and from what he's heard from other ISP's in the area.
