assistant: Joe Schweier was bubbling to Cd Man :
I have one Elite 2864, and my friend has two Couriers V.everything, one in
office, other at home. Actually he said to me that he never saw connect rate
to go up tu 33600, mostly it's 31200. Once before I remeber that I read in
this echo that current Elite hardware could go to 31200 but not to 33600.
Maybe thay shoul implement 31200. They put too much on ISDN, and I saw in one
of last PC Mags when they were talking about ISDN adapters, thez didn't even
mentioned ZyXEL. For one thing I'm sure, I will never buy ZyXEL again if they
don't start to think a liitle bit.
