Your cart is empty.The 3095 USB Mini External combines a highly efficient design, easy installation and high performance in a surprisingly low-cost product. With its small size, light weight and integrated USB cable, the 3095 is perfect for travel or home office use. The modem plugs directly into a USB port and works with any operating system supporting a USB interface, including Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. Configuration is automatic and reliable without the potential conflicts of an internal modem. And the USB port provides power to the modem, so you don't need a power cube. That means no bulky power cube when you travel and no power cube clutter at your desk.

The disk that comes with this modem is not for use with Apple computers. I have an iMac that is a couple of years old. I just plugged this modem in one of the USB slots in the back of the iMac and used a long phone cord I already had (there is one included in the package but I needed a longer reach - the one provided looks about 6 feet long) to go from the modem to a telephone wall jack in the next room.Then, there was not much that I did to get it to work. Just clicked on the little Apple icon in the upper left of the screen, clicked on "System Preferences", then "Network", then clicked on "USB Modem" and filled in the information for Telephone Number (this is the internet service provider's access number), Account Name, and Password. (I used a free dialup service in California to test it out because my landline phone has an unlimited nationwide calling plan.) Then, I clicked on "connect", and I didn't have a dial-up connection noise, which surprised me, but I was connected. I used an online dialup speed test from Michigan State University and got the result of 40 kbps.I'm not sure but probably I will use this for a backup way to get internet when my mifi signal fades out (I am in a hilly rural area of Virginia and use a Virgin Mobile Sierra Wireless device as a mifi but the signal varies).

I am a MAC owner and have been using the Zoom 3095 dial up modem for 6 years.By far it is the best external USB dial up and fax modem I have ever had.It works not only on the latest i7 quad core macs, but also the old power pc macs and every mac in between.Over the years, I have used it with various Mac Power Pc and Intel Laptops running OS Tiger, OS Leopard, OS Snow Leopard, OS Lion and OS Mountain Lion. It is easy PLUG AND PLAY on all of them! I use it back and forth between my old 17" powerbook and my new 2011 Macbook Air without any problem. Each instantly recognizes it and is ready to go. I use it everyday to connect to the internet and some days to fax documents from MS Office 2008 with no problems.Plug it directly into the Mac and not into a usb hub so it can draw enough power.Most usb modems either support 32 bit OS like Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard or 64 bit like Lion and Mountain Lion, but the zoom 3095 is a better usb modem because it works great on both 23 bit and 64 bit Macs. Of course, it also works on windows and Linux, but I have not tried that because I only use Macs.

I just replaced my aged iMac G5 with a new iMac 21.5 running Lion. I did not realize at the time that Apple had dispensed with the internal modem so, with the new Mac, I now had no fax capability. As 'old school' as it seems, faxing is still useful and, in some cases, required or preferred for transmitting legal or other other sensitive documents. I do both. Therefore, I needed a solution. (Come on Apple!! What did omitting the internal modem save you - $0.10?!)After doing my research, I discovered the Zoom 3095. The reviews were, the price was a little expensive compared to the competition, good form factor - small and unobtrusive, and the specs indicated it would do all I needed it to do. A bonus turned out to be it's portability and functionality for both Apple and (ugh) PC products. So, I ordered it. Delivery was amazing! It arrived the next day! Let me type that again - THE NEXT DAY!Installation was a snap. Plug and play as advertised. Set up on the Mac, however, was 'different'. Since Apple omitted the modem in the iMAC, they also omitted any useful information on how to set up an external one. It was not intuitive! Searching the web led me to the instructions on how to set it up the most recent OS (Lion). Actually pretty simple which IS consistent for the way Apple does things.SInce installation and set up, it has worked flawlessly. I would recommend this product to any Mac user needing to add modem and/or fax functionality!When Apple drops the ball, it nice to know there are reliable add on devices like the Zoom 3095 to take up the slack. Great product!![...]

I had purchased this Zoom USB modem for use with my new 2011 13.3" Macbook pro as emergency backup for when my broadband internet is down. Install is as easy as plugging it in, going to network preferences, and entering your information. When I first set up the modem, I was getting extremely slow connection speeds, frequent disconnects, and was about to return the modem. Before doing this however, I decided to do a little research on the net. I discovered that other people were also having problems, due to the Apple magnetic power plug that is standard on this laptop. My solution was to use a 3 foot M/F usb extension cable that I had lying around to get the modem away from the power plug, and the modem now works like it should. I hope this helps someone else if they have this same problem.Update: To increase speed, select generic, then dialup device, under modem name in network preferences. I was still getting random disconnects when I selected Zoom as the modem type, which the manufacturer suggests in their instructions. Zoom needs to update their instructions to reflect this
