- • Addressbook and Dial Logbook can be printed.
- • Incoming voice calls can be listened without be logged in
- (if you have a D/V button like ZyXEL modems).
- • ZyXEL's voice format ADPCM4 can now be used (but does it improve the voice quality?).
- • The field "eMail" in the addressbook can now be used to compose a mail.
