- | Better yet, get youself an ISDN card - they're cheaper, and the
- | performance is probably better.
-
- I concur. I have the Elite 2864I. It stinks. If you're a bug-collector,
- you'll be in heaven. Buy ANYTHING but ZyXEL. Even a cheap ISDN card and a
- separate V34 modem of virtually any quality will outperform the Elite
- 2864I. And then you'll save some money on top...
-
- The current ZyXEL firmware versions (in Europe version 2.00) for the Elite
- 2864I can only be graded as pre-beta - or if you're polite - beta versions
- of the (hopefully intended) working version, that probably won't be due in
- the near future (some bugs, that were present in the official "end-user"
- version at the start of the general sale to end-users still exist here in
- the beginning of 1996).
-
- I keep hearing rumours, that ZyXEL will recall/replace all 2864I modems;
- even rumours of the imminent demise of ZyXEL is popping up here and
- there.... Probalbly it's just rumours, but I would not be at all surprised,
- if tomorrow I read, that ZyXEL had went "belly up"....
-
- If ZyXEL could be convinced to invest in finishing the product, it could be
- everybodies dream of a "jack of all trades" communications center. As it is
- now, the product is based mostly on hot air, held together by a large
- (non-official) bug-list - in short: (pre-)beta firmware - in my not so
- humble opinion ;-)
