A rather disturbing thing happened today. This morning all of the leds of my 
zyxel elite 2864 were burning brightly. I did try to reset the modem by 
shutting down its power and turning it on again. After that the cd led kept 
burning. I quickly exchanged the elite for the good old u1496e+ to keep the 
system running.
Later today I checked the elite on another system and discovered it said it 
was in kernel mode and ready to accept a flash-rom for upload. After 
restoring the firmware everything looks allright again. Even the non-volatile 
ram was loaded with the mailer-settings as before. In the year and three 
months that I am using the elite now, I have had a non-responding modem maybe 
once or twice before (this has never happened with the u1496e+). But it then 
reverted to normal function by shutting down its power and putting it on 
again.
My elite is an international model (afaik), and it was loaded with firmware 
version 1.13.
Now I have some questions:
-  Did anybody experience the same problem?
-  If so did he/she discover why it had happened?
-  And if so, was it a hardfware-problem or a software-problem?
