yeah that's where I got the idea but there wasn't much info about anything else I might need for things like voice-over-net or ROGER WILLY thingy

I get consitently better connects and transfers with mine than I do with my Diamond Supra (serial). Best modem I've ever owned. Tim

I could not agree more with you. I have a zoom 2919 ISA (non-winmodem), by far the best modem I have ever owned. Much better than my previous Supra piece of crap. I just bought another one for the office. Needless to say, it is highly recommended.
