- Now does it work, or doesn't it work? You claim two completely different
- things...
- Or do you mean the manual "doesn't work"?
- In that case, just look at an average modem's manual for comparison.
- You will find the ZyXEL manual is much better than average...

- The topics discussed in there are highly technical, this makes it
- difficult to read for the uninitiated. But usually one does not need
- the knowledge at all, it is for programmers that want to make software
- that uses the nice features of the modem.
- Most end-users just pickup some program and go.

- That cannot be done. The highest speed for these modems is 19200 if
- it is a PLUS model, else 16800 bps.
