Zoom equipment news

"Zoom announced the latest addition to its VoIP family Thursday--the four-port ADSL X6 modem with wireless 802.11 capability. Like the company's other DSL VoIP products, the device enables users to toggle back-and-forth between VoIP and primary phone connections. Users connect with other callers via Zoom's Global Village, which provides free calling to others who have signed up for IP services such as Pulver Free World and IPTel..... The DSL modems enable users to toggle back-and-forth between VoIP and regular land lines by simply pressing a single key. After a user plugs a standard phone into a Zoom DSL modem, all she needs to do is press the pound sign to connect to the Global Village service. Manning points out that users, who have been frustrated trying to reach 911 emergency and 411 directory information calls, can easily switch out of Global Village and access their primary phone line. "We are basically selling into DSL channels," Manning said." .... Zoom came to an ISP meeting to announce that it would work with Independent ISPs in volume deals.
