4.0 out of 5 stars zoom usb mini, November 26, 2001

This review is from: Zoom 3090-00-00 V92/V44 USB External Controllerless Fax Modem (Personal Computers)

I've had this modem a few days and haven't had any problems. Just make sure you install the drivers BEFORE connecting the modem to the usb port. I did this and had problems getting it to work initially. Mare sure to read the directions before connecting. If you have this problem go into the device manager and uninstall the modem, then load the drivers and connect...should work fine after that.

After reading other reviews I was a bit sceptical about purchasing the Zoom 3090-00-00 external USB modem. But I went through with purchase and have had nothing but great success with the modem. I installed the drivers on my laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo D 8800, Win XP Home) and my PC (EMachines Tower 533id, Win 98SE). On both of the machines the connection speed is great (45 Kbps) even though I have a poor telephone line. Once I change out the old cable on my telephone line for a better one I should be getting a connection speed better than 50 Kbps. Just make sure to follow the instructions and the recommendations from other reviewers and you will not be disappointed. Also, make sure to use the driver for Win XP users that is available on the Zoom webpage and not the one on the CD that comes with the modem.

You'll get a strong suggestion from MS Windows XP not to install it for that reason. Aside from that problem, another is that it's controlless, meaning forget about using with Linux, and expect poorer performance (for instance, I could not download Open Office with it though I tried about ten times, my old serial modem did so the on first try). Also, it lacks modem lights, which are useful for a quick check of whether or not it's on, and/or receiving/sending data. It's marketed for travel use with a laptop, and may well be fine for that purpose; I was wrong to think it could be used as an all-purpose desktop modem.
