I will second your opinion......  Mr. Palmer does indeed swing a heavy 
hand.... especially when there is no need for that hand.
Debating the merits of the Zyxel vs anything else does seem like a pretty 
valid topic to me.
I wish he would lighten up.....  I am also one of those people who have 
become disappointed in Zyxel.
I have many times considered a US Robotic V.Everything especially at they are 
charging for the sysop price. Especially since they have the VFC protocol and
Zyxel does not intend to support......
There are a ton of USR Sportsters that have not been upgraded to V34 and have 
the VFC protocol instead.
I spoke with a woman from Zyxel (Joy maybe), she returned my email, about the 
sysop pricing subject and all she said that it would be about 30% less than 
retail.
Considering I paid $750.00 Canadian (full retail) the sysop price that they 
are offering is not a good deal.  A USR courier would be a way better 
financial deal.  $249.00 US
The problem is that one does tend to get attached to a particular brand of 
modem, and I find it a little difficult change.  Oh my *** all those configs 
settings that will need to be changed.
Live Long and Prosper,
