Subject: Sending a note to ZyXEL...
Summary: Here's the petition I promised!
Keywords: zyxel programmers petition
Organization: University of Delaware
Date: Sun, 27 Dec 1992 20:03:49 GMT

Well, everyone, I finally compiled all the responses I got and prepared
the letter requesting developer's information on the ZyXEL modems.  I'll
fax this over to them on Tuesday or Wednesday; that should give everyone
enough time to make comments and/or suggestions.  E-mail me if you have
any changes.

Sorry this was so long in coming; I got swamped with finals and then
deadlines at work.  

I will also post an update on the mailing-list thing tomorrow or Tuesday.
Hope everyone had a merry Christmas and/or a happy Hanukkah!

Dear Gentlemen:

     We, the undersigned, are owners of ZyXEL 1496-series modems and
regular readers of the Usenet group comp.dcom.modems.  Most of us are
currently developing one or more software products centered around the
ZyXEL; others are interested in doing so, but don't know where to begin.
We're working on starting a ZyXEL programmers' mailing list so we can
exchange information among ourselves.  But to get the group started, we
need help from you.

     The manual that comes with the modem is simply not sufficient for
serious software developers.  In order to get the most out of the
modem's advanced features -- voice mail, DTMF encoding/decoding, fax,
etc. -- we need access to in-depth technical documentation, algorithms,
and sample source code.  With the proper help, the programmers whose
names are listed below will create the types of applications to really
show off the ZyXEL's capabilities.

      Please get in touch with me so that we can decide how best to
coordinate efforts between ZyXEL USA and the programming community.

      I look forward to hearing from you soon.

                                        Sincerely yours,


                                        Todd Radel
