Write your reply.

assistant: Hello All!
        I just want to tell You (and than ask) a story about one shipment
we've got last month. We did an order of 200 modems for our State Power
System and ...received a surprise. Could You imagine the modem, which doesn't
recognize the simple commands: ATH1, ATH0, ATA e.t.c.? It said 'ERROR'!
Moreover, the reply on command ATDT221481 was 'STOP!' We was just kicked out!
The BIOS version was:
U1496E V 6.15 AUST (replied from ATI1 command).
After a requset to ZyXEL Company, they said that we have to enter command:
ATS38=2#G255
Register S38=2 - is a reserved function and we didn't find #G255 command
_at_ALL!
                                ....
After that modems works _PROPERLY_! Seems, something was rewritten in EPROM
or what? The BIOS version changed to
U1496E V 6.15 P! The word AUST changed to P!
Could ANYBODY EXPLAIN what doest this command means? And does anybody have a
guide of undocumented functions? ZyXEL Corp. doesn't want to give the right
answer for this question.
Please mail to 2:471/5 or sligna@rc.lrs.lt or write a reply here!
I am waiting for Your comments very much!
Thanx,

The only way to upgrade your modem is buying the new ZyXEL Elite 2864... Some
dealers have a trade-in program, so that you can bring your old modem, pay
some extra and get the Elite. I do not know how much it costs in USA, but in
Poland it will be about 200 US$ if I want to exchange my S+ to Supreme 2864
(I only know this price because that's what I am interested in, LCD to LCD).
If you meant EPROM or software upgrade, it is not possible with any 1496
model.

Hello Joe,
     If you don't have the correct init string setup for your node that FD is
on in SBBS also. You will have a problem. Because the CBV will use the init
string setup for that node in SBBScfg. That's why I am looking for one to use
in SBBS and Frontdoor.

Need some help.  I run a BBS with InterMail as my Front End.  With my
old Zyxel 1496E+ I had it set up to receive Faxes through Intermail Error
levels.  I used the set up that was passed around.
Now that I've upgraded to the Zyxel Elite 2864 w/o ISDN, and ZFAX 4.01
Software - some of the items like ZFNotify do not work.
Just wondered if anyone has theirs set up and working.
Is anyone willing to share their setup with the rest of the world?
Is there an upgrade to ZFNotify for ZFAX 4.01?
Thanks in advance.  Being in Japan, I use the fax to send and receive
information from various venders.  I'm afraid to send if I cannot Receive.

Write your reply.

assistant: I agree with you there.  ZyXel really should have made the Omni more
competitive with the low end 28.8 modems.  (Like Zoom and Supra)  Zoom
internal 28.8 modems are wholesaling for $135.00 right now.  As a reseller of
ZyXel modems, their best price to me is the same as everyone else for an
upgrade.  And what do I get for that extra $100.00 to ZyXel?
I had intended to upgrade 2 of my ZyXel modems but when I attempted to do so
found out that ZyXel would not extend the same terms they had been giving me
on new purchases. COD Company Check is the way my company has been doing
business with ZyXel, but that was not allowed with an upgrade.  As a result,
purchase 2 Zoom modems and chucked the ZyXel upgrade form in the trash can.
I saved $400.00 doing that because we were going to get the model just up
rom
the Omni on the Keep option.
Guess I don't need to keep getting this echo anymore either. (it's a shame)
