Write your reply.

assistant: Hallo zusammen
Ich habe ein ZyXEL Modem "Elite 2864" mit der Firmware 0.9.
Nun habe ich damit ein Problem. Wenn ich laengere Zeit online bin, haengt das
Modem von selbst ab. Das bei allen Geschwindigkeiten (28800, 14400). Ich
arbeite mit dem Telix Terminalprogramm. Wenn die Verbindung nur schnell vor
sich geht (FidoNet), habe ich keine Probleme. Doch eben wenn ich etwas bei
einer Box runterlade, unterbricht das Modem ploetzlich und ich kann wieder
neu einloggen. Das "SQ" Laempchen fangt dann an zu blinken und weg ist die
Verbindung. Hat das was mit dem Modem oder mit der Leitung zu tuen?
Ich wohne in einem etwa 30jaehrigem Haus. Ev sind die Leitungen nicht mehr so
gut. Soll ich eine neue Leitung oder besser gleich ISDN einbauen lassen?
Ich habe einmal den PC und dsa Modem einem Bekannten zum Testen gegeben, bei
Ihm hat alles wunderbar funktioniert.
Hat jemand ein aehnliches Problem oder hat er es schon geloest? Kann mir
jemand helfen?
Tips und Loesungen bitte mit NM an mich. Vielen Dank!
Gruss

can you, with those 7 numbers for 1 isdn line, have your modem let number X
go to the modem 2 (on 'voice' output), number Y activate ZFAX, number Z
