OS arguments

[Brian Densmore]

Yes, I use Zoom modems. I'm not sure what model I am using. I am using
an external 56K Zoom. It is fantastic. I usually get 53.3k thru-put.
Sometimes on a really bad day, I get 48k. I didn't do anything to
install it in Linux. I just plugged it in, connected it to a serial
port, turned it on. I then told my dial out process where to look for my
modem. It did the rest. I have had that experience with all of my Zoom
modems. In my opinion the make the best modem for the price and
performance (more flamebait I'm sure). That's just my opinion, but I'm
sure someone'll flame me for that. We have a lot of zealots on the list
;) (self included).
