Does anyone know how to setup a ZyXEL U-1496E modem in Front-Door to

If you want to use this with a ZyXEL you have to ask for the proper version.
DO NOT COUNT ON ANY TECH SUPPORT though.  I sent them a fax more than a month
ago, then a other one two weeks after that. When I still did not get a
response i sent them a e:mail.  The responded that they would get back to

What version of Doom are you using? I believe the latest is 1.9  .
There are two selections for ZyXEL modems in Doom2. I have been using
AT Z S46=0 &D2 &K0 . This works for me every time. The problem may be with
the other modem the ZyXEL is connecting to. Try taking turns originating
and recieving or use a terminal program to connect first and then launch
Doom.
My ZyXEL has been running Doom for more hours than you would believe. I'm
sure your friend will get his working.
Let me know how it goes.

There are several reasons why you guys is US have better chances...
- FCC model is the 'universal model', i.e. it's sold in all those
  countries where you don't need to get a separate PTT-approval
  to import/sell/use your modem.
- and that is based in the large quantity. US is a big market area,
  though Russia and Germany are just behind.
- your local distributor has exceptionally good relation with ZyXEL,
  and anyway US is the most important area.
