-
- JP> Notice the word analog in Ulf's message. I didn't say that ISDN is bad,
-
- I have an Elite 2864I myself. Funnily enough, all problems I have had are
- related to ISDN, not the internal modem. The internal modem has given me little
- trouble, even though I run a mail server here with dozens of different modems
- calling into the system. OTOH, the modem has a superb line quality to work
- with, since it's connected via ISDN. Sure, it's V.34 code isn't quite perfected
- yet, but what do you expect from a V.34 product that has been on the market
- roughly a year less than the competition. It takes time to tune the code. USR
- released their first Courier V.34 code Aug-94, and have had a V.34 product on
- the market since then, for a comparsion. At that time, they even had a wide
- base of sold modems to plug the code right into with a simple downloadable
- software flash update.
-
- JP> I also said that analog Elite is not worth half the money it is sold.
-
- Well... the Elite 2864 is a modem with a lot of features. You pay for all of
- them of course. If you don't need things like direct fax printing via a printer
- port, optional internal fax memory board, etc, check out their Omni series
- instead. Buying an Elite series in that case would probably be a waste of
- money. And if you don't need voice, caller-ID, etc, but just a high performance
- data modem that just keeps working, and nothing else, why not get a USR Courier
- V.Everything instead. It is simply a much more mature product. But it doesn't
- offer the wide range of features a ZyXEL Elite 2864I does, with regards to fax
- features, voice, caller-ID, distingtive ring, etc. The ZyXEL firmware will
- mature, given time. It just isn't quite finished yet... as you've noticed.
-
- Btw, have anyone seen the Supreme 2864 series hit the market yet?
