While this isn't a bad trouble shooting idea, in this case it probably
wasn't the right one. What you may have done was turn one problem into
two: 1, getting the modem to respond; 2, getting the new drivers copied.
For the moment, lets ignore problem 2, since I think the issue isn't the
driver, but the modem itself.
In this case, I think you can trust what your Zoomer is telling you -
somtimes it does know best.
Here I refer you to your ever-trusty Zoomer owners manual. Make sure the
specifications for your new modem match the requirements listed in the
manual for the Zoomer. Most of the newer PCMCIA modems (not to mention
many of the older ones) need more power than the Zoomer can provide.
Remember these new PCMCIA cards were designed for laptops, which have a
lot more power to offer than the Zoomer could ever supply. I'd give you
the page number and specification, but I don't have my manual with me at
the moment. I could get for you if you don't have an Owner's manual.
I remember this is a problem I had when I was looking for a modem, but I
should warn you that when compared to many of the rest of you out there,
I'm a real novice.
Also, is there software that lets a Zoomer transmit at 14.4 ?
