    Union City, California, -- Zypcom, Inc. announces two new 56K high-speed modems: the external Z34-SC and the internal (ISA bus) Z34-PC card. Like their 33.6Kbps predecessors, these modems are based on Cirrus Logic's DSP, but are now shipping with x2-based 56K, and continue to offer a complete communications solution for the personal computer. Both 56K modems transfer data as fast as 115.2Kbps with compression and as fast as 56Kbps without. Fax, voice and video compatibility are also standard in these modems. With the flash EPROM-based design, an update or enhancement is a simple download of new modem operating software. Zypcom's internet class "C-Series " modems are designed for modem users worldwide and can be used across MS-DOS- and Windows-based PCs and Apple Macintosh systems.

    The Z34-SC and Z34-PC target buyers who need an upgradeable data/fax/voice/video communications platform for their personal computers. The C-Series modems are ideal for buyers who need a low cost, easy-to-install 56Kbps dial-up modem that is the complete communications solution.

    Both modems offer compatibility with all applicable ITU-T and Bell standards, including V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.23, V.22, V.21, 212A and 103 for data transfers. Error correction and data compression support cover MNP Classes 2-5, as well as V.42 and V.42bis. Facsimile support includes Group III, V.17, V.29 and V.27ter. And from a software interface point of view, the modems support Hayes-AT-compatible autodialer commands and EIA-578 Class 1 for fax software compatibility.

    The Z34-SC and Z34-PC support fixed-speed and autobaud data transfers at speeds ranging from 300 bps to 115.2Kbps. Line rates range from 300 bps to 56Kbps and offer autorate fallback/fall-forward capabilities. With V.42bis data compression, effective throughput speeds can reach 115.2Kbps. The Z34-SC and Z34-PC support the IS-101 (AT+V) voice command set, offering features such as answer machine, voice mail and full duplex speakerphone. The Z34-SC has a built-in microphone and speaker, eliminating the need to purchase additional equipment for voice operation. Both modems are compatible with the V.80 standard, for videophone operation over analog dialup networks.

    The Z34-SC and Z34-PC are available now. The Z34-SC sells for $199. Fax, voice and communications software is included. The Z34-PC sells for $179. Fax, voice and communications software is included. New versions of Z34-SC and Z34-PC modem control software with all improvements and enhancements will be FREE.
