Zoom Introduces Hayes PCI Modem

Boston, MA, January 24, 2000 -- In keeping with its commitment to provide Hayes customers with the latest technology, Zoom (NASDAQ: ZOOM) is now shipping its Hayes ACCURA V.90 PCI Modem. The Hayes ACCURA V.90 Modem (Model #H08-03357) integrates popular features of traditional Hayes modems with the most up-to-date V.90 technology. PCI modems currently represent the industry 's highest volume category.

"Zoom is committed to expanding the Hayes brand and anticipates releasing new Hayes modem, networking, and broadband products during 2000," said Terry Manning, Zoom's Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

The ACCURA PCI modem takes full advantage of the high speed PCI bus architecture commonly found on today's fastest computers and provides high quality voice mail and Class 1 fax. It includes V.80 capability for point-to-point video and supports the H.323 and H.324 videoconferencing standards.

Zoom has also added its pioneering advanced lightning protection to the Hayes ACCURA PCI. Since lightning is the #1 cause of modem failure, this feature offers a major advantage not only to consumers and businesses, but also to PC manufacturers and system builders.
