- I just finished testing the Zyxel U-1496E v.32b/fax/voice modem.
-
- I don't care if every feature works but, I needed a fast and good
- v32b connection. The modem works. I called the company, bought it
- direct , paid cash and got it next day. I have seen no problems
- on all major long distance carriers, local carriers, BT, OTC and
- one line I call in Japan. I have inbound 0800 free-phone access
- to my commercial system from 6 countries and no problems. I tried
- to vary the voltages to the modem - no problem. I cut power, caused
- surges and even droped the thing - No problem. I own USR and Telebit.
- How fast is fast. The price is right and they answer their phone. I
- for a replacement gurantee not a 15 day repair time and they agreed.
- With USR I must send in red lable UPS to get fast service - generally
- 2 days. One of my friends just drove to the company they treated him
- great.
- Now on my list of junk...
- Supra - Zoom - Quicktel and other junk. Thing like Infotel/Midwest Micro
- don't even count.
-
- The bottom line the modems work for now, 24hrs 7 days a week. If I do have
- problems I will post.
-
- Final Note: Egghead Software admits that Zoom modem fail. They just placed
- and order with ZyXEL.
