assistant: Hello All!
I have a question the dutch area can not help me with.
I hope de international area can.
I have an BBS running with Frontdoor 2.12 en a ZyXEL Elite 2864 analog modem.
I understand that the modem can receive faxes en print these directly to a
printer with is connected to the modems Parallel port.
I use the following settings in Frontdoor:
AT+FCLASS=Z
Causes the modem to use ZyXEL class fax protocol.
AT+FZF=1
Forces the modem to route faxes to the parallelport of the modem and data
calls (mail calls or BBS callers) to the serialport.
Above standing settings are al acourding to the manual.
Has anyone experience with this setup??
I have not yet had the time to test it, but i wonder if anyone else in the
word use this setup to
I hope to get an reaction on this.
You can repley or send your anser to the internet adress below with is
monitored the hole day!

Le Dimanche 08 D�cembre 1996 Dimitri van Hoven �crivait � All :
o
If you use the ZyXEL modem, you must have received also the ZFax program
(v4.02 with Elite 2864).
With FrontDoor, and after you have indicated the profile one FAX: Internal
'Yes', you putting the following commands in your FD init strings:
ATZ|~AT#B1+FCLASS=6|
You will be able to dices during sending and also receive some Fax by
automatic detection of FrontDoor and work your Fax (conversion, print, etc.)
with ZFax.
Do I hope to you could have helped?

Write your reply.

assistant: I just recently received a promotional brochure from Zyxel, listing
the latest stuff they have in their product line, Omni.net, OmniTA 128,
Prestige and the Elite.
Well, I have the Elite 2864, but upon close examination of the ad, it said
that this modem is 56k upgradeable.  And the Elite 2864I is also 56K
Upgradeable too.  I thought the 56K upgrade thing was ISDN, but
when I saw the Elite 2864I (ISDN version) having the 56K upgradeable
logo stamped on to it, it to me just doesn't make sense since
I believe the I can go up to 128k, why list the I as being 56K upgradeable
UNLESS Zyxel intend to do what USR and AT&T plans
to do; introduce a 56K PSTN modem using existing technology.
USR x2 56K technology can be adapted for their Courier and Sportster V.34
line, AT&T V.Flex is a similar technology.
Does that mean, the Elite 2864 is capable of doing 56K like the USR X2 or
V.Flex?  If so, that's great news!
