Gottfried- I see from the article you posted that Zooms have onboard DSPs. I took the link to the Zoom site and see the Hayes V.92 modem listed on their product list, so it appears that Hayes is part of Zoom. ? Are you using this V.92 version? It appears to have some great improvements over V90: "The newly adopted ITU V.92 modem standard and its companion V.44 compression standard enhance Internet communications, offering multiple advantages over the older V.90 / V.42bis standard. The most apparent improvement for most users will be the dramatic increase in Web browsing speed provided by the V.44 compression standard. The older V.42bis compression standard was developed over ten years ago, before the widespread use of graphic images on the World Wide Web. The new V.44 compression standard was designed specifically for the graphics-heavy content seen on the Web today and can double the speed of Web file downloads. The V.92 data standard offers several additional advantages including QuickConnect, faster upstream data transfers, and support for call waiting: QuickConnect can cut the negotiation or "handshake" time at the beginning of a call in half. The V.92 standard increases the maximum data upload speed more than 40 percent -- from 33,600 bps to 48,000. " R
