Hi Tiaan I get the impression that you must be the local (as in Gauteng) ZyXEL fundi. I sent you a message in RsaCOMMS a month or two back, but I guess you are not there anymore? My ZyXEL 1496E+ is giving me plenty of hassles, especially connecting with anything that is not a ZyXEL. If I connect with a similar ZyXEL I can get rock solid transfers at 19.2 (close to 2200cps). Before we get into discussion on esoteric matters like active profiles, could you tell me: Is the upgrade from the 6.01 ROM which I have to current 6.14 going to do much for me? Who sells the new 6.14 EEPROMs around here, and approximate price? Who can erase my present chips and burn in the new code, and at what approximate price? Can you make a ZyXEL connect to the newer V.34, V.32(terbo), V.FC and the like reliably? I am quite happy to use &N17 and settle for V.32(bis) at 14.4, but that does not seem to work in most cases?

I believe that it is quite a viable solution. cheaper than all the parts apart. also, the ISDN version is capable of V34. Compared to other high end modems (like USR) the price isn't bad at all. Compared to the el-cheapo modems it's another story but then, a mercedes isn't a citroen 2cv6 for that matter. --- FastEcho v1.42b6+ * Origin: [PC-MOS/386 operating system support] (2:2802/105.1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 116 ZYXEL MODEMS Ref: C3E00018 Date: 03/06/95 From: ROELAND JANSEN Time: 05:11am \/To: STYX ALLUM (Read 4 times) Subj: 28.8 modems ? > Anyweighz, I've recently acquired a 1496B internal.

I don't have CID available here so can't actually tell if it will help but..... never shot is always a miss. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Subject: T.27 How does one make Caller ID (CID/CND) work correctly? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Caller ID or Caller Number Delivery is a *paid* service that *may* be available from the local phone company. One can *subscribe* to this service and get a ZyXEL modem to display the time, name and phone number of the calling party. To enable Caller ID detection by the ZyXEL, type in "ATS40.2=1" in a terminal program. This procedure was paraphrased from pages 12-5 and 12-6 of the yXEL User's Manual (Revision 2.1). [pages 12-3 and 12-4 in the on-line version] It should enable Caller ID detection. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Subject: T.27A What exactly is the hardware modification needed for CID/CND and EDR? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Brent Mosbrook (brentm@zyxel.com) [ZyXEL USA] writes: "All new ZyXEL modems have a hardware modification performed at the factory. A capacitor has been added to filter the Caller ID data. Current owners can have their modems upgraded by sending the modem back to ZyXEL, and we will install this capacitor for them. This might not be necessary, and is only recommended for people who live in an area with CND, and cannot get it to work. Any ZyXEL owner can call us and we will help them determine if they have the capacitor installed." Brent Mosbrook (brentm@zyxel.com) [ZyXEL USA] writes: EDR on non-US modems: It has come to our attention that EDR (included with 6.11a roms) does not ork on modems bought outside the US or Canada. North American modems have a capacitor installed which is used to filter CID, and other tones received prior to the modem going off-hook. ZyXEL will not be referencing EDR capability on any "international" modems sold. Customers who wish to install this capacitor may do so at their own risk (local telco regulations may restrict performing this modification). Due to these possible restrictions, ZyXEL will not be offering a factory upgrade, but will help customers in identifying 1) whether or not they currently have the capacitor installed. 2) where the capacitor should be located. NOTE: DOING THIS MODIFICATION WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY, AND MAY VOID THE LOCAL PTT APPROVAL. A .033 uF capacitor needs to be installed parallel to resistor R4 (100K ohms), which is located in different places according to the model, and revision level of your modem. A diagram showing the lastest revision levels is included to show the general area where R4 can be found. R4 is generally located near the relays (large yellow, brown or black boxes). The color code for R4 is brown-black-yellow-gold.(some locally approved models may have other values. Generally it is between 75K and 150K ohms.) The capacitor should be non-electrolytic, and rated at 100V or higher. (these are the latest rev. levels.. older models may differ significantly) 1496S/S+ modems:
