Hey, that did the trick!  I was fortunate enough to have
a 0.033mF poly cap in my parts box.  Right after reading
your message, I fired up the ol' soldering pencil and
did the mod.  Bingo!  Works great.  The diagram above
threw me for a bit, due to R4 being in a different location
(mine's located near the upper RJ-11 connector, rather than
the lower RJ-11).  They did a great job of placing components
directly above the numbers.  "Parting by numbers".  Heh.
Thanks a bunch for the help, Roeland!
Now, I've gotta figure out why FrontDoor's terminal program
accepts the CID info, but the mailer ignores it entirely.  Grr.
(I have LDFRS enabled, and have tried answer delays from 20-50
 tenths/seconds, but it still fails to accept the data.)
Before getting CID working (via the CAP) I would occasionally
get a CID entry in my log.  Sometimes partial, but enough to
let me know that LDFRS (log data following ring string) is
enabled.  [sigh]  Maybe I'll have to write a front end for
FrontDoor.  ;-)  :-\

The only rumor I've seen about ZyXEL is in this echo; and after
having communicated with ZyXEL about the ZyGOLD program recently,
I'm of the opinion that they are in great shape.
(They just place too much focus on ISDN, whereas V.34 has an
immediate market chomping at the bit(s).)
Patience is a virtue, but so is economic insight.
I am impatiently remaining patient for V.34 support from ZyXEL. ;)

Interesting (and curious) that the B version of 6.14 keeps the on-line help

I wonder if all + models lost the on-line help and the standard models kept
it?

BDW> Could anybody please tell me what the AT commands for a

Write your reply.

assistant: "ZyXEL", not XYZEL ;-)
Please request all or selected ones of the following files from my BBS to get
information about the voice mode. There are not always really appropriate
commands for all things you requested, so getting a full doc would be more
helpful for you than just guesses by me about what you possibly meant in
particular... What modem or description did you take for building your
command request list ?
All of the following files contain at least a part of the necessary
information about the ZyXEL's voice mode. I suggest you request the ones
marked with an asterisk (*). The 6.xx numbers refer to firmware revision
numbers (6.14 is the actual one). If you cannot display Windows .WRI format,
get VOICE.UPD instead of MANUAL.ZIP. Most major changes happened between 6.00
and 6.14, so MANUAL.ZIP is not necessarily a better base than VOICE.UPD.
BISYNC.ZIP    1k (*) (bisync protocol description, ASCII)
MANUAL.ZIP  110k (*) (manual revision 2.2 up to 6.10, *.WRI format)
ATQR613.ZIP  75k (quick reference 6.13, Encap.Postscript)
QUICKREF.ZIP 12k (quick reference 6.00, ASCII)
VOICE.UPD    25k (voice commands 5.xx, ASCII)
600-614.ZIP  18k (*) (release notes firmware 6.00 .. 6.14, ASCII)
BTW, I also have a documentation for the Rockwell voice command set, which is
quite similar to ZyXEL's (despite some minor parameter and spelling
differences) :
RVOICE.ZIP  40k (rockwell voice AT command set)
If you need more info about ZFax/ZUtil/VoiceConnect voice file format/coding,
ask, I have some infos about this. I cannot give information about Rockwell
ADPCM encoding (NDA).
Note the new phone number for the BBS (below). It's not in the nodelist.062,
but hopefully will be updated in .069.
