Well I was refering to a local wholesaler, and an old article which
appeared a few months ago (I believe it was in Computer Shopper - but
I could be wrong).  Also from personal experience since I'm in the
retail business.  I've worked and dealt with ZOOM, Zyxel, Supra,
Telebit, USR, BOCA, Cardinal and a few more v32bis modems and it
seemed that the ZOOM ones would be returned more often than the rest
due to incompatibility problems.  Anyhow I guess it's all a matter of
personal experience.  I used to love ZOOMS 2400 and 9600 baud modems (
I had and still have a few of them), they were VERY reliable in my
case, but when I took the plunge into their v32bis ones - NO Way.
Maybe in newer ROM revisions they fixed all the probelms, but
initially the ones I had (2 of them) were a nightmare...

Oh Well...

Anyhow, Happy Holidays...
