     Ouch, 1500 miles is alot. Anyways, Win95 is normally pretty forgiving on what drivers you use for the modem, as long as you don't plan to use fancy features (ie. VMail, CID...). Let 95 autodetect it, if it doesn't than go to control panel and select add new hardware, and let it autosearch. Let it finish, and then look at what it detected, if it detected it as a ZOOM 33.6 or 22.8 you are probably fine to go ahead with it. If not, restart but choose to manually install the device, then select the appropriate ZOOM, if it isn't there a generic driver will probably work. You might have to do at this a few times until the modem agrees with the computer. I have a USR sportster 33.6 and win95 has never detected it correctly, I always have to select the model manually. Hope this helped. TTYL
