Dear Mr. Scrapps:
Zoom plans to make an announcement soon about what 56k technology the
company will use; however, as you know, Zoom has a close relationship with
Rockwell.
Initially, the upgrade will be hardware; 28.8 and 33.6 modems may be
exchanged for the 56k board. Later in 1997, the upgrade will be done
through software.
As to exact date of availability and cost of upgrade, the details are not
available yet. To our knowledge, US Robotics has not announced cost of the
upgrade either.
Thank you for your interest in Zoom, and Happy Holidays to you!
