“Zoom Telephonics (NASDAQ: ZOOM) is now shipping the
Zoom/FaxModem 56K PCI Plus. The new Model 2920 is a
controller-based PCI-bus internal modem for desktop Windows and
Linux PCs. The Zoom/FaxModem 56K PCI Plus is designed for
applications requiring maximum processing power and easy system
integration.”

“A processor on the Zoom/FaxModem 56K PCI Plus controls the
Hayes AT commands and data compression, unlike Windows-only PCI
modems which rely on the same central processor that runs Windows
on the host computer. The Model 2920’s on-board controller and
on-board digital signal processor result in a more stable system
and simplified system integration. The Model 2920 is ideal for use
on servers and gaming computers, or anywhere system stability and
processing power must be maximized.”

The Zoom/FaxModem 56K PCI Plus supports Windows 95, 98,
2000, NT 4.0, and Linux. “This is an excellent product for the
growing Linux market,” said Terry Manning, Zoom’s Vice-President of
Sales and Marketing. “The Model 2920 also provides enhanced system
performance for system integrators, Value Added Resellers, and
on-line gamers.
