- I think Zoom also knows just how bad it is. When you consider the fact that
- they told me to download unimodem V and use the rockwell 28.8 voice+data+fax
- PCMCIA driver instead of there's. For a modem that was fully Win95 plug and
- play compliant I sure had a lot of trouble installing it. Then getting to
- work properly was even more of a chore. What kind of logic goes into telling
- your customers to download unimodem V when the modem doesn't work. Luckily
- for me I had a spare operational modem on hand. If you know of any good init
- strings I would appreciate it.
