I have a 100% NEW Zoom Fax/Modem(external, 14400bps) with v.42bis and MNP5 
compression for sale. I haven't even opened the package yet. Here is the 
story.

I bought it at Duke computer store in January, and had used it until it got 
screwed up due to a severe thunderstorm two weeks ago. I sent it back to the 
Zoom Telephonics, and while waiting for them to send me back a new one, I 
bought a new, faster 28800bps modem. Yesterday, I received this whole new 
package from Zoom Telephonics, and haven't opened it. I expected to receive a 
main unit only, because I returned the main unit only, without cable, 
software, and other stuff. But they sent me a whole NEW PACKAGE, which sells 
at $135 now at Duke computer store. It contains several other cool stuff, like 
Delphi, AOL and CompuServe free offers. Also it has 7 years warranty and 
WinFax LITE, DosFax LITE, and COMit for Dos and Windows. I had used it for 
several months without any problem, so you'll be happy with it as well as I 
was. I'm thinking of selling it at $100. Once again, it's not opened!

I had a US Robotics modem fried by a t-storm a few years ago and had the
same experience.  I think it is just cheaper for them to toss in a whole new
modem rather than trying to repair an old one.  How much do those cards
really cost to manufacture, anyway?

This serves as another reminder to users: you are *much* more likely to
get a shock to your PC through the phone line than through the power
line.  Either get a surge protector that includes a phone line protector, or
unplug the phone line after each use (and defnintely unplug when tstorms
are around or when you leave town).
