Hi Andy. I was on ZyXEL bbs tonight, looking for any help files for setting
up Binkley/FAX/Voice with my 1496E. I have an old copy of ZuTSR which I
understand is necessary for doing voice from Binkley (v2.59 DOS). Would like
to know if you have the most recent ZuTSR for freq, as ZyXEL bbs didn't have
it (I have v231 from 7/3/94).
I run a private BBS, and am converting what few callers I have to points, and
want to run voice/fax/data on one line to save a few bucks. Any help
appreciated. Thanks!

assistant: Don't know.  I tend to stay away from the line of 80x86 stuff.  I've
 foudn serial communications with them to be less than optimal.  Resource
 usage is incredible.
 You probably got enough CPU horsepower though - now get a serial board
 that will do 250Kbps (or more), and your in business.
 Actually, I;d be surprised if the Elite can really handle that kinda
 data - I like my 1496 better :-(

assistant: Where can I get 1.10?   Does it fix some of the horrible crap
 in earlier versions?  My ELite locks up (actually hangs the
 internal CPUs - bad programming problems), has lost settings,
 does not answere until the third ring, and just has a fit with
 the slightest bit of noise on the line.
 Connections that send my Elite into a fit, usually dropping carrier
 and all sorts of things don't hurt my U1496 at all!  The U1496 almost
 never blinks its SQ light at me.  The Elite blinks the SQ light
 constantly because it can't handle noise.
 My U1496 is a reliable rock-solid work-horse modem.  My Elite can't
 even do its frilly voice-mail properly (it over-drives itself very
 badly, or gives other audible errors).
 I don't suppose 1.10 will fix it?  Where can I get it anyway?
 Thanks,
 Evan Langlois

ZyXEL has always had trouble with terrible phone lines; at times, my 1496+
couldn't connect at all with them.
Rather, I think that the phone lines have improved to the point where the
slower protocols now get through.
That is a problem I've been wrestling with since I got mine.  If your
operation permits, set the modem for *E1; it seems to help quite a bit.
That vaguely rings a bell; it may be automatic based upon your CND detection
settings.  The only way CND can work is if the modem picks upon on the second
ring.  Don't forget that the "ring" noise is actually generated by the modem,
and may not be quite in synch with what the telco does.
Try dialing the modem with a handset and listen for yourself to see exactly
when it picks up.  If you aren't using the CND features, turn them off.
No - but I'm not using CND.
Don't bother with the exchange; I think the "ring count" problem is a feature
which you can disable, and the hanging problem is not going to get fixed by
an exchange.
PLEASE, PLEASE call ZyXEL and let them know about the hangs (or E-Mail
tech@zyxel.com).  I've been badgering them for months, but apparently not
enough people are telling them they have a problem because they seem to think
I'm a crank.
