Well, hopefully Hayes will do something about their v.34 modems soon, I'm having the same sorts of problems with them with my Motorola as I had with my USRs and PPI modems (Hayes and PPI are the same damn company too! :> ). If you're Zoltrix is a vFC modem, I'd expect it to work fairly well, as Hayes did very well with their vFC code (course, I'd certainly hope that they did, they were one of the two main contributers for vFC).

I do have another make, two of them as a matter of fact. But I also have a Zyxel U-1496E+/19.2 also, which sits here waiting and hoping for a 28.8 upgrade at a resonable price for today's market. If Zyxel tells me it will never be upgradable, then I'll take your advise and drop this echo. In the mean time have fun with your LCD display!

I have had the Delrina package for awhile and can tell you that it is not for me at all. I use a Macintosh computer and I think that the Delrina is a DOS transfer to the Mac or there is something very wrong with it. It does send out faxes okay. When receiving it has problems if the resolution is changed from low to high in the middle of the transmission. Instead of changing to high resolution, it prints out a blank page and then gets only the top half of the high resolution pages spread over the entire page. Once a fax is received and pulled up on the screen, the scrolling takes forever, many seconds to move one inch on the page. The fax software takes up about .5 MB of memory when it loads. It tends to conflict with my other communications software, either giving error messages or crashing the computer, or I have to turn it off and on again manually. I can't think of any other problems right now. I took it off my hard drive and switched back to FAXstf which works very well with ZyXEL. I have found that the ELITE answers on the second ring instead of the first ring like the 1496E. I am still waiting for the perfect software to go with the ZyXEL modem to take advantage of all of its capabilities. Let me know how you make out.

Right now I have replaced the ZYL with a Zoltrix which seems to hook up with everything. What with installing Win 95 and trying to make heads or tails with it I haven't had much time for replacing modems. Like you I can hook up at 28.8 with just about anything except a Hayes V.34 with the Zyxel. Guess I'll put the Zyxel back on and see how it works with the fix you mentioned, I can live with 26.4.
