If you don't want to hear of any connect problems, close your ears. Not just 
to ZyXEL, but to virtually every V34 modem on the market today. They all have 
connect problems of one sort or the other and will continue to have them til 
all the early v.34 implimentations are gone, which will be never.:-)
I had major problems connecting to a V34 PPI until recently, and I haven't 
changed anything.:-)
