Zoom (3095-00-00F) Analog Modem

Pros:
- USB powered and data connection (Standard USB "A" male cable & connector).
- Small (2.6"L x 1"W x .75"H), plus attached 3" USB cable.
- About the size of 2 stacked packs of gum; 3 counting the USB cable.
- Telephone Jack (RJ-11). Need standard telephone cable; usually included.
- NO external power adapter required.
- Great as a modem for Netbook, if a Dial-Up connection is needed
(e.g., for AOL dial-up connection,
if a broadband connection is not available).
- Also good for desktop PC to save a PCI slot,
and also have dial-up capability as a backup to broadband being down,
or if need to send a fax via PC (either a PC file or via scanner) .

Cons:
- Uses computer speakers for modem speaker
(keeps size down, a plus, but would "mix"
with music during dial-out/connection establishment; not a big concern;
may be able to disable using "AT" commands if it really bugs user).
- Only 2 indicators on modem, but they are the most useful
(OH, OffHook, and DATA [data being sent or received]).
Again, also a plus, keeps size and power consumption down,
but may make troubleshooting connection failure,
or tweaking for best performance, more difficult.
