Well, maybe, it will not solve your problem. Here I've the same problems with
v1.06 en v1.05. The carrier is dropped almost only with 14k4 callers. The
problem occurs only in Remote Access 2.02 and not in the terminal mode from
FD or during a mail session (in or out calling).
I had locked the fossil's baudrate at 115.200. Now I'm trying 57600. My
expirience is, that there are a fewer dropped carriers, but it's still going
on. Maybe I should try firmware v1.04.......

assistant: I have been doing some beta's for PS as I had a nasty bug with IM's terminal
mode when the speed efficiency code was developed.
Even after 8 releases, the bug was still in and although I described the bug
in detail, even told *WHY* TPASCAL issues such runtime errors, they stiull
couldn't get the stuff working.
What happened is that every time the terminal mode was used, the program
bombed out after exactly 1024 bytes. It was, unsing my ZyXEL E1496e+, locked
at 57k6. Note that the speed entries in the program were '0' for that
particular speed. It doesn't matter as the connect message is parsed to find
out the real connect speed. however, that was not correctly done and the time
needed for 1 Kb
download was divided by the speed from the program. not the parsed one. Not a
problem if it would be 57600. It would show an efficiency that is 1/3 of what
it should be. As I told before, the table entry was '0' -- so the program
bombed out -- division by zero. easy ? yes.
which supports my idea of "use whatever works for you" -- I keep FD myself.
%JoHo% releases less in time, but what is released is far more superiour and
more stable compared to IM, especially
when it comes to bugs..
anyway, apart from IMK being hooked to a ZyXEL -- this probably doesn't
belong here. My advice is to stay away from it. (We bought 10 licenses, 8 are
returned. you may guess why)

Nope, a terminal adapator, like the ZyXEL Elite line, will do v34

end.
Remember, the phone system is already digital now.  When you go ISDN,
all you're changing, is that its digital right from your computer, to
the switchbox on your block.  As long as your system is sending out
signals compatible with an analog system on the other end of the
call, (and you're allowed to connect to analog switches), there shouldn't
be any problem.

assistant: Shows how little I know about ISDN (too damn expensive to even start
learning about in California).  :-(
Not necessarily true.  Many SoCal local switching locations still
use analog systems while some (non-PacBell) even have mechanical
switches.
That assumes the phone company is all digital.  Many are not.  :-(
Another big assumption "allowed to connect to analog switches."  Last
time I checked with PacBell, if you went ISDN, you connected to ISDN
and that was that.  You could only connect with ISDN from that point
on using your ISDN line.  Anything else, you were required to use a
standard phone line.  Things have probably changed since then, but
that's probably where the confusion started from.  Still too expensive
to even consider ($40+ per month ABOVE the standard service rate).  :-(

I'm a lucky owner of Zyxel Elite 2864 with 1.06 EEPROM release.
From time to time, it is impossible to hangup the modem by lowering the DTR,
though parameter &d2 is well set.
Even an AT&F doesn't make it works !
But with a +++ followed by ATH0, the Zyxel hangs up correctly.
I have to switch it OFF/ON and then i can hangup with the DTR.
Does someboy has an idea ?

After connected hit "+++" then "AT#E1" to get a readout of your

feature buried in page 18-1 of the full manual)   Type "ATO", of course, to
get
back in data mode. The best S/N that I have seen is 29 on a local connection.
This gives me, at best, a 26400 connect to a USR v. everything. I am curious
as
to what other people are seeing for S/N. Is 29 high or low for a local
connect.
