- you didn't mention Zoom... I have two USR's, a V.Everything (Upgrade)
- and a V.32Bis-Fax and I also have a Zoom Comstar 28.8 w/voice and Spkr

- daughterboard in to the V.32 and it works fine now and I love it....

- better than the Zoom.... in fact, I can show that I get a higher
- percentage of 28.8 connects with the Zoom ....
