The Zoom/FaxModem 56K External Model 2949 (Model 2945 for Mac) is
Zoom's classic, award-winning, external fax modem. It plugs into the serial
(RS-232C) port of a Windows, Macintosh or Linux-based desktop computer.
The Zoom/FaxModem 56K External Model 2949/2945's performance is
further enhanced by its on-board controller and DSP (Digital Signal
Processor).
The Zoom/FaxModem Model 2949/2945 is capable of receiving data from
an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or online service over standard phone
lines at speeds up to 56 Kbps uncompressed. Outgoing data is transmitted at
speeds up to 33.6 Kbps.
The Zoom/FaxModem 56K External Model 2949/2945 is Dualmode;
supporting both the V.90 ITU Standard and K56flex, the commonly used pre-
standard 56K technology. The modem automatically selects V.90, K56flex,
33.6 Kbps or slower speed to achieve the fastest compatible connection
speed.
Like all Zoom Dualmode modems, the Zoom Model 2949/2945 includes
V.80 capability for compatibility with H.324 standard point-to-point video
telephony over regular phone lines. It also supports Group 3, Class 1 Fax.
Additional features include Zoom's Channel 2™ Call Waiting support which
allows selective answering of incoming voice calls during Web browsing.
The Channel 2 feature works in conjunction with the Call Waiting service
available from most phone companies. It functions with all ISPs (including
AOL) and popular browsers.
The Model 2949/2945 also features ZoomGuard. ZoomGuard provides
superior protection against lightning, the number one cause of modem
failure. ZoomGuard is not only better than the “varistor” protection found on
other modems, but also outperforms most stand-alone surge protectors.
Bundled software includes hardware drivers and utilities plus fax/voice/
data communications, videoconferencing, Internet access, graphics editing
and other useful programs.
The Zoom/FaxModem 56K External Model 2949/2945 is made and
supported by Zoom Telephonics, Inc., and is backed by Zoom’s outstanding
seven year warranty.
