- The US distributor is ZyXEL USA, at (714) 693 0808.
-
- Mail order sources:
- Boston Computer (617) 551 0166
- Questor, Vancouver, BC (604) 682 6659
- Eagle Computing, Newark, DE (302) 657 9303
- SI Services, Phila (215) 675 7507
-
- There are four models:
- Approx cost
- ZyXEL U1496E $ 350
- ZyXEL U1496E+ $ 500
- ZyXEL U1496S $ 550 (This model is also called U1496.)
- ZyXEL U1496S+ $ 700
-
- The E and S models offer nearly the same functionality and differ
- primarily in the front panel display. The S model is particularly nifty
- in having an LCD display that shows, among other things, the current
- signal-to-noise ratio on the line and the current data rate, both
- expressed in real numbers. But if no one is likely to be looking at the
- front panel of the modem, then the E model should be fine.
-
- If you want an S model, try Questor; these models are very hard to get
- and are backordered with little hope for months. An S+ model should
- be easy. Any E model should be easy.
-
- I have had excellent experience in buying from Eagle Computing. I have
- no experience with the others.
