assistant: * Quoting a message of Thu 16-May-1996
Don't you have access to ZyXELNet? There is some talk going on there.
My experience is a not completely satisfactory. This modem is not as reliable
as my U1496E+ used to be, anyway. The newest flash-ROM (1.12) gives me the
least troubles, but an odd 28800-nothing (no ARQ, or V42B, or V.34) connect
sometimes happens, and sometimes on this connect a session will follow, and
sometimes it doesn't. The other side sees the same 28800-nothing connect.
Sometimes dialing other systems results in a fax connect (at the other end),
and a redial gives a 26400/26400/Arq/V.34/V42B, completely random too.

assistant: Hello All !
I work with a 'ZyXEL Elite 2864 and the program ZFAX v4.02E.
I can send a TXT (ascii) file but, is there a possibility:
1) of sending a PCX file in direct with ZFax?
2) does he be necessary before convert it in FAX file?
The point 1 is negative at me and for the point 2 I'm sorry to see that if
the convertion is possible for FAX<>PCX it is not possible in the other way
(PCX<>FAX) and gives me always a file of 16 octets maximum.
Could anyone give me the solution to this problem?

The best init string for you may be absolutely unusable for me
because of line quality, type of telephone station, type of modem
at the other end etc....
And the best question about init string here have to be so -
WHAT'S MORE CAN I TRY TO ADD TO MY INIT STRING TO GET A GOOD
CONNECTION (plus some words about - see below about what)
Well, I came to the terminal program and said AT&F to my 1496e+ than
AT&V
Try to do it too, then your init string will be many times shorter :-)))

das Modem auf der anderen, also z.B.
 auf Nummer 1   telefonieren                    und gleichzeitig

oder
 die Nummer 1   zum Telefonieren freihalten     und st�ndig
 auf Nummer 2   auf eintreffende FAXe lauern?
Wie wird das 2864 ID gef�rdert? In der KOMMERZ.GER steht die Behauptung,
die Telekom w�rde unter Umst�nden auch 700,- dazulegen. Wie geht das?
Kann ich das Teil unter DOS, Win95 und NT nutzen? Insbesondere: mit
