- That's the v.34i - correct? Make sure that you have the latest ROM. Type ati3
- and see when number it returns. If it is earlier than 1.309 then call Zoom
- 800-666-6191 and ask them to send you the new ROM (-it's free- you install
- it). Some older ROMs had carrier dropping problems. Even though this ROM is a
- few months old already- the old ROMs are still in some stores.... I'm sending
- you my Zoom info file.
