Zoom 2920 PCI Voice Modem not working right
I just bought this Zoom 2920 Modem. 1) The directions for installing the modem under Windows NT are incorrect. The Setup. exe file the directions say to execute does nothing to get the modem installed under Windows NT.
I just bought this Zoom 2920 Modem.
1) The directions for installing the modem under Windows NT are incorrect. The "Setup.exe" file the directions say to execute does nothing to get the modem installed under Windows NT. A setup file in the PCI directory got the modem working for data -- but slow.
3) The provided voice mail programs, both the "Lite" version and the 30 day demo version keep giving an error message stating that the directory, I want to install the software in, must have a name of less than 8 characters. EVEN WHEN I USED A DIRECTORY NAME OF SIX CHARACTERS!!!
The only way I could get the software installed was to allow it to be installed in the root on the partition.
With both of the bundled voice mail programs, only the first 1 second of recorded messages is intelligible. Everything beyond the first 1 second is garbled.
4) I purchased a separate voice mail program. One that I have used before, "Super Voice" from Pacific Image Communications, Inc. The outgoing messages sound like the driver transistors are being over loaded and is totally incomprehensible.
5) I have since, tried 11 shareware programs with no useful results.
6) I have down loaded the modem bios and drivers from the Zoom web site -- flashed the modem bios and reinstalled the drivers
If anyone has had any success with this modem, running under Windows NT please tell me how.
