I received my upgrade notice a few months ago, and after a good deal of
thought
decided not to upgrade to ZyXel v34.  It wasn't that I was unhappy with my
1496e+, it has been reliable.  It's just that the company doesn't seem happy
with the idea of offering a good deal to people who already own ZyXel. My
definition of a good deal is that one should be able to upgrade and feel that
one is getting a better deal than one would get with any other modem company
without being a previous buyer.  I don't slave over all the data, but it
looks
to me like I was starting out at ground zero again, and therefore decided to
shop around and bypass ZyXel's deadline on the upgrade.
I have yet to get a v34.  But US Robotics Sportsters are taking over the
world.
I bought one for my mother who seems to be very happy hot-rodding all over
the
Internet.
But let me say before people condemn me for bringing up the 'USR' word, I
would
buy ZyXel in a New York second.  I frankly don't think they are offering
modems
for previous owners at a good price.
I wish them well.  I am sorry, though, that I see so many people resigned to
go
elsewhere.
Yes, I considered the Omni.  The deadline, I believe, is past for me, though.
So, I guess that is that.
Guess I'll see if I can ever get Supervoice for Windows to work with the
1496e+.  So far, no luck, I can't get the init string and config right.

Write your reply.

assistant: make that both B channels. on compressed data; when v42bis is used, it
*could* reach four times the 128kbits/sec.
indeed, on an 2864i, a rate of 460.8 or higher would be a good choise (if
bundled channels are used) with moderately compressable data.

assistant: it does, ken, it's not a v34, it's a v34/isdn instead.
bundled B channel is 128kbits / sec so 115k2 will end up in a starving modem

The installation seems to run just fine. The modem is recognized, and no
problems are reported. BUT the modem is not working properly, except in DOS
software. I've tried several accessories. 'Phone Dialer' worked the very 1st
time only, and 'Hyperterminal' has worked a couple of times, but not lately.
still haven't managed sending a fax. :-(

      I need an instructional guide to help me setup the Elite 2864 v.34
modem to receive fax and data calls from my front end mailer InterMail.
Please include any screen shots of initialization strings needed to perform
this task. I had this working well with my U-1496 S+ but since I switched to
the Elite 2864 I have not been able to receive faxes. I have ZFAX 4.0 setup
identical to ZFAX 3.25 which was working flawlessly with my U-1496 S+. I am
not certain about Initialization strings with the Elite 2864 to enable for
Data and Fax reception from my front end InterMail

 has not been optimized for use on the US/Canada PSTN. It is simply less

 Yes, I *know* this as a fact. Believe me on this one. Non-US customers
 should try the latest and see if it offers an improvement. US customers

of course not. the ISDN stuff is Siemens;
can't remember about the V34 part -- it is a DSP set. e.g. flexible to

I recall it's ZyXEL's own DSP's.
