Computer shopper did a test of ten 14,400 faxmodems. Pub Feb 94 issue.
They rated Zoom #1 with a score of 1531.5 (out of 1600.0). Next closest
Intel - 1507.7 and Boca - 1503.0. Except for the last two, (ATI - 1276.0
and Zoltrix - 1140.0) the other modems scored quite closely, above 1465.0
but under 1500.0.
QUOTE: (and highlighted in large letters in a box)
"ZOOM remained unaffected by our land-line impairment, posting nearly
identical rates for our incompressable file on best-line and impaired line
sumulations."
Oddly, the base-test modem, a USR Sportster 14,400, did better
connected to Zoom than when transferring between two USR modems on impaired
lines.
BTW, the mail order price of the external 14,400 is shown as $190
(when they did the test), but is often less than $149, and the internal
$129.
