- Now I have a BIG problem ...
- The V5.00 roms have been distributed here in Germany as an *official*
- version, obviously some misunderstanding between ZyXEL and the german
- distributors.
- A lot of people already are using this version and there is general
- excitement about the quality of this update! All bugs of previous
- versions (that I'm aware of) have been fixed, 16.800 bps transmission
- works flawlessly, and the voice mail capabilities are fantastic.
- V 5.00 definitely is the best piece of "beta code" ZyXEL ever sent out
- to the world... :-)
- In fact, it out performes *all* of the previous production releases by
- far.
- Now, if this is just beta, what am I supposed to do with my new eproms :-) ?
- Change back to V 4.09, which was installed before the upgrade? Nah, you
- can't be serious...
-
- My congratulations again to the ZyXEL engineers for producing this
- fantastic release - what other modems are supported in such a way?
- I started with buying a modem with V.32bis and FAX - now I have a
- modem with additionally 16800 bps, voice mail, a lot of new features...
- just for the cost of two new eproms (about 15$)!

- [ no connection to ZyXEL, just a very satisfied customer ]
