- | The danish distributor of ZyXEL, has announced a free internet program for all

-
- | By choosing a ZyXEL, the user are offered free and unlimited access to the
- | internet for a period of 1 (one) year. The offer are valid for the hole U-1496
- | series and the new ELITE series (both V.34 and ISDN).
-
- | There are no charge at all for this service (except the normal phone bill).
-
- | Further information will soon be avaiable on HTTP://WWW.IMAGE.DK
-
- Do those of us, who have actually paid for the access, get our money back?
-
- If you can afford free internet access for any ZyXEL user, there must be
- something wrong with your pricing of the products... or is it a last ditch
- effort to shove some produce out the door?
-
- Why not lower the price of the product instead? Your internet service is
- not that good... it's nice, but lower prices are better...
-
- For a ZyXEL Elite 2864I, this would mean between 12 and 15 percent lower
- prices (for everyone), and for the cheaper models, it would mean, that the
- prices may actually come down to a nearly competitive level... or is that
- notion too alien for a ZyXEL distributor?
-
- Users, not requiring internet access, would also benefit from lower prices
- - wouldn't they?
-
- How come some distributors try everything in the book (at high costs) but
- competitive pricing?
-
- I'm not even demanding, that ZyXEL deliver products, that actually live up
- to their own the specs. I've "only" waited more than half a year, and the
- 2864I is still some distance from the promises in the published sales
- material.
-
- OK. ZyXEL has just discovered, that DOS is not that common a user
- environment anymore, but still I would like to be able to use - at least -
- some of the promised features, before Windows 95 is replaced by Windows
- 2000.
-
- Currently I would be content, if new firmware versions didn't re-introduce
- old bugs.... I'm not too keen on the current "firmware roulette" (if you
- need that "feature", load firmware ABC, if you need another "feature", load
- firmware XYZ, if you need both - sorry, you're out of luck - please be
- patient.... sigh... or rather: ZyXEL - pronounced "siiigh... sell...." ;-)
-
- Best regards
