Write your reply.

assistant: I am having problems upgrading the firmware for my ZyXEL Elite 2864.
E2864    118    577006 06-02-97   9:41a
I managed to do the above upgrade to 1.18 with ATUPX without problems..
It worked fine.
I took the following betas from ZyXEL beta firmware:
E28641   18B    580035 06-24-97   2:53p
E28641   18C    580065 08-22-97   4:33p
E28641   18D    580049 10-02-97   5:15p
I have not been able to do the ATUPX for 1.18b, 1.18c and 1.18d at all.
All 3 betas abort at exactly 87% of upload.
Anyone knows why this is happening to my ZyXEL Elite 2864?  Any help is
appreciated.

assistant: Hello All,
It is peculiar, but I thing it was discussed somewhere before & I can't find
it that quickly.
While on-line with ISDN with the Elite 2864i 2.10 on the internet, there is
an incoming ISDN call for the BBS and the outgoing call is completely locked
up.
Somehow information about this incoming call conflicts with the outgoing, and
I remember something about switching off the announcement of a second call,
but I'm a bit new to this aspect. Please help!
