Just from connecting I save about $20 monthly,and in the same time just for connecting I get about 60kb of mail,now take in account that you have failed session with modems,something that happens rarely with isdn,and it all mounts up to thrown in the dust bin...money:-) Now tell me Lennart,is isdn that much more expensive than normal lines? IMO it is cheaper,ONLY if you do long distance calls...as for local...hmm I've stopped worrying about that since I got my isdn line:-) If I only knew before what the Elite could do I wouldn't be stuck with my isdn card...would of had another Elite:-) Greetings, Costas --- OS2NET the place to be! * Origin: The Underground OS/2 BBS Hellas +30-31-989051.

The DSP in Elite is not even capable of 33K6... actually, it is. the 'problem' is that the R&D cost to get such a reliable connection doesn't outweight the benefits. ZyXEL states that if you would want faster, get ISDN. it's up to 128kbits/sec. why bother for the (allmost never happening) 33k6 ? -- Grobbebol's Home (Linux 2.0.x i586) --- * Origin: XS4ALL, networking for the masses +31-20-6222175 (2:280/865) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 116 ZYXEL MODEMS Ref: DFJ00032 Date: 11/11/96 From: RENE CHRISTENSEN Time: 10:54am \/To: ROELAND TH.

But all this talk about how much it costs have made me very curious, how much does the telecom's charge in the different countries? TeleDanmark always claims to be one of the cheapest, but the prices you people have mentioned seems to be lower. Denmark: ISDN2 line 2150 DKK approx. US$ 335 MSN 17 DKK aprrox. US$ 1 per month (per number) ISDN2 line month 512 DKK approx. US$ 30 per month * Call charges 0,05 DKK approx. US$ 0.008 per call * = in the eastern part it's a little more expensive than here. Otherwise it's the same charges as on normal PSTN lines. From the 14th November you can upgrade your PSTN to ISDN for 900 DKK (approx. US$ 155), so atleast something is happening :) How much is the different charges in Holland?

SM> No and never ;-). The DSP in Elite is not even capable of 33K6... LE> Do you really believe that? The DSP is fully capable to go even LE> faster! Well, DSP itself goes nowhere :-). And I do beleive in what ZyXEL _officially_ states... at least stated for several month ago. Even if we forget about their statements for a moment one could guess that a totally different technology (57K6 - xADL?) will not fit into existing DSP. Besides ZyXEL was not very successful in streamlining their existing code until now - the same bugs are present in f/w 1.13 as they were for a year go. Probably ISDN capabilities of Elite improved - but not anolog capabilities and those include fax and voice function as long as data functions. ZyXEL have effectively stopped developing of analog modems and concentrated on ISDN devices in the past year and half. All this leaves me no reason to beleive that ZyXEL will produce a competitive analog product capable of 57K6in the near future.
