- I know we were not on your list of vendors that you were planning on
- contacting, but have you looked into ZyXEL's rack modems? The U-1496R
- (cards) and the U-1600RS (the rack itself). Each card is the
- equivalent to a U-1496S. They have all the features that you stated
- above. Give us a call at 1-800-255-4101.
