  Nope.  It won't.  However, the author of the ZoomCom file transfer utility
is working on a terminal utility for the Zoomer.
  As for Zoomer software on the net, I can't really help you since I don't
have full access to the Internet.  On AOL the only things available are a
text reader, the aforementioned ZoomCom utility and a couple games (Maze &
Towers of Hanoi), besides a bunch of Notebook & Address Book files.

  I've been keeping my eyes out for one of those lights which clips onto a
book for night reading which would work on the Zoomer, but so far haven't
found one.  In an issue of Popular Electronics last year there were plans for
a low-power light to illuminate your remote control which might work for the
Zoomer.  I haven't gotten the parts to build it, though.
