Then they didn't realease a SINGLE modem when v.34 came out. Now 14 months later (and counting), still nothing. And now 33k6 is being used by some modems. Still nothing from ZyXel. How much farther behind can they get? They are losing a fortune in sales. How can any company stay afloat with nothing to sell but old, slow 14k4 modems?

What is a normal user? A BBS user. Sure not, they are under 1% of ZyXEL users. But they have a big mouth with a loud voice. A normal user, who's paying 2DM/l for gas to his car can really afford ISDN easily to his 90Mhz Pentium + 2Gb + 16Mb + 17"... The difference from 486-33 to 586-90 is about the same as from V.34 to ISDN. And quess what: EVERYONE'S BUYING PENTIUMS. You'll see funny things in next 12 months.
