- There have been a lot of praises for the ZyXEL here lately. My question
- to you folks is: How does the Intel 400 compare to the ZyXEL?
-
- I'm considering the Intel 400 internal (14400 fax/modem, new UART,
- and internal buffering). I've heard it is a champ on noisy lines,
- and the buffering really helps in throughput. What would be the
- comparable model from ZyXEL? How much does it cost? Does anyone
- have bad experiences with the Intel?
-
- I would like to hear some comments, recommendations, experiences,
- etc., for or against either unit. Any help would be greatly
- appreciated.
-
- Thanks,
-
- James.
