- I've noticed that ZyXEL has been the subject of quite a few harsh
- comments in this conference lately, so I'd like to add my personal
- experience. I used to have an old U1496B that I was very pleased with.
- Last September I took advantage of the upgrade offer and bought an
- Elite 2864 that came with BIOS ver 1.04 I wasn't quite happy with this
- version for a number of reasons (among them odd pauses in the
- transmission of data at unpredictable intervals) and successive BIOS
- versions unfortunately had problems handshaking with Norwegian versions
- of USR modems. However, version 1.12 seems to have fixed these problem
- and the Elite 2864 is now an excellent product, I think. Alas, one week
- ago my power supply suddenly gave up. So I had to borrow a USR V34
- Sportster and sent a message to ZyXEL USA and Taiwan. On receipt of my
- message ZyXEL USA immediately shipped a replacement power supply by
- Federal Express, all expenses paid. That's what I call service, and
- that's one of the reasons I think ZyXEL is a lot better than the
- general feedbeck in this conference might have indicated. Now I'm up and
- running again using my Elite 2864 which incidentally gives me
- consistently higher cps throughput as reported by Zap-O-Comm, compared
- to an USR V34 Sportster.
-
- Now, if only ZyXEL would match or improve on the V34 plus "standard"
- in an upcoming BIOS version........
