- I am surprised you compare the Zyxel and the Courier Dual Standard.
- The DS supports two connect protocols, and has various other features
- (ie. ASL, modular upgrades) not present in Zyxel.
-
- It WOULD be fair to compare Zyxel w/ a USR Sportster .. in price and
- features these modems have a lot more in common. I would strongly
- recommend you look at the Sportster .. from what I have seen it is
- a solid modem.
-
- Good Luck!
