    Good Points: I cannot think of any


    Bad Points: I had heard that Zoom was a good choice for modem "WRONG!". This modem disappears on you, you think you have a modem and than you get an error message, "modem not found" and you have to re-install again...(crazy) This modem does not give you the things that it says that it does. The speed is still the same, installion is hard. "Modem on Hold" I don't know if it works because I have not found an ISP that supports this. Voice mail, well I am still trying to find out if it works, because I have no idea how to use it, since they don't explain how it works, and everytime you ask them they tell you something about "Modem on Hold", I am speaking of the Tech Support. I don't want to comment on the "Voice Mail" since I can't find out how it works. You have to email tech support, or call a long distance number in order to reach them.


    General comments: The Zoom 3090 V92 USB Modem is simply not what I wanted. All in all, I could have just kept my old modem, it does however show you callerID, and tech support does answer your email quickly, but if you are looking for feathers like Call Blocking, forget it. I wished I had known that it did not have that feather before I brought it. It is not what I am looking for, maybe it is for someone else but not me. But now I am stuck with it.

    I bought this Zoom 3090 V92 USB Modem thinking that a USB device would be much easier to manage. Not so. I have had such a hard time trying to keep the modem from giving random "Unknown Device" errors under Windows 98ME that it is hardly worth the time. It may be due to ME but that should not matter. The modem states it supports ME. I have had it attached to two different systems with two different chipsets and eventually it will fail to be recognized on start up. I exchanged the modem and still ...

    This Zoom 3090 V92 USB Modem is a cracking wee modem which takes minutes to set up. Connection time is fast and its easy to set up so who cares if it doesn't have flashing lights. Very impressed, something which actually works for a change! I was getting 44Kb straight away which for me is a hugh improvement.

    I wanted an external modem with lights, in order to see what's happening.

    The picture of this Zoom 3090 V92 USB Modem on the box shows what appears to be lights and holes for a speaker. Clerks at Best Buy confirmed that it had lights. BUT IT HAS NONE. The packaging is utterly deceptive.

    Since I did not open mine for a couple months, I called Zoom and requested an upgrade to one with lights, and offered to pay a modest price differential. They refused. Never again will I buy a Zoom prod ...

    I purchased this Zoom 3090 V92 USB Modem on the understanding that external modems were far supererior to the cheap internal modems supplied with most computers. 'The lights make it easy to see what is happening', claim the 'experts' in many articles I have read.

    The problems I had with this modem were mainly the fact that it was very slow to start to dial up (as opposed to straight away like my old modem) and was very slow to disconnect - it would take around 30 seconds before I was able to ...
