Frank Manning, Zoom's President and Chief Executive
Officer, commented: "We are proud of the entire Zoom
team. We introduced a number of important products in 1995,
including faxmodems with voice mail and full-duplex speakerphone
capabilities, a new cellular-ready V.34 PCMCIA faxmodem, and
new product lines for Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, the
United Kingdom, and other countries. Our V.34 external faxmodem
for Germany just won PC Professionell's "Best Buy"
rating when compared to 13 other faxmodems; and our V.34 PCMCIA
faxmodem for North America was rated above the market share
leaders Megahertz and U.S. Robotics in Infoworld's recent
tests. In 1995 we also strengthened our already strong shelfspace
position in high-volume U.S. retailers, and strengthened our
international distribution channels and OEM sales team. We
enter 1996 with considerable momentum and exciting new products
coming in the areas of ISDN and simultaneous voice and data."
Founded in 1977, Zoom Telephonics designs, produces,
and markets a broad range of faxmodems, voice/faxmodems, and
cellular-ready faxmodems to link people and their personal
computers to each other through the telephone network.
