- i'm currently trying to decide whether to get it or the cardinal mvp28.8 v34
- voice/fax modem, which is slightly cheaper.
-
- has anyone used the zoom comstar 28.2 v.34 speakerphone/voice/fax modem? do
- you find you really use the speakerphone and voicemail? i know that
- everyone's needs will differ -- i was wondering if they're just gimicky
- features that no one really uses much after they buy the modem (whether
- because of needs or because of poor quality of the features).
-
- also, the cardinal has flash rom and it doesn't look like the zoom does. has
- that been a big deal to anyone? or does it look like it might be in the
- future?
-
- it appears that zoom and cardinal modems connect reliably at 28.8 (or close),
- depending on the line quality, so i'm not too worried about that.
-
- any (informed) comments on either modem would be greatly appreciated.
- thanks.
