 As the V.34 Protocol is finalized and approved by ITU-T in June, ZyXEL
 is working on its new generation modems with 28.8 Kbps speed and ISDN
 upgradability for release later this year.


 1] ZyXEL V.34 Modem
    ================

    Main Features:

    * ITU-T V.34 28,800bps to 2,400bps
    * ZyXEL 19,200bps mode
    * ZyXEL 16,800bps mode
    * ITU-T V.32bis/V.32/V.23/V.22bis/V.22/V.33/V.29/V.27bis/V.26bis/
      ZyCellular mode
    * MNP 3-4-5, V.42/V.42bis, V.42 SREJ
    * Flash EPROM for downloadable firmware upgrade
    * ZyXEL parallel port interface
    * 14,400bps V.17 and V.29/V.27ter G3 FAX
    * EIA Class 2/2.0 and Class 1 Fax Commands
    * FAX scan line error report
    * CELP voice compression, 2/3/4-bit ADPCM voice compression
    * Microphone/Speaker voice interface
    * Versatile telephony functions
    * Universal data dump
    * ISDN Upgradable (option)


 2] ZyXEL ISDN Modem - A Seamless Transfer from PSTN to ISDN
    ========================================================

    The ZyXEL ISDN Modem sets new standards in performance
    and usability
    for ISDN applications. This universal communication platform supports
    the most highly integrated services over ISDN lines without
    sacrificing connectivity to today's more prevalent analog lines. It
    is backward compatible with PSTN and includes most of the fine
    features found in other ZyXEL fax/modems including V.34. The modem
    works with most existing communication software using existing ZyXEL
    AT commands. It also fully supports the current standard ISDN
    application interface, COMMON-ISDN-API versions 1.1a and 2.0. You can
    run all of today's commercially available ISDN applications.
    Upgrading to the ZyXEL ISDN Modem maintains your link to the analog
    world and prepares you for the digital world of tomorrow - today.

    The modem firmware handles both D and B Channels protocols. For
    D-Channel, it supports EDSS1, 1TR6 and NI1/NI2; for B-Channel, X.75
    SLP, V.120, V.110, and Bundle(128Kbps). Better yet, the modem is
    ready for new developments. It has a 512KB flash EPROM that allows
    you to conveniently download and program the modem with new
    protocols using a PC.

    A special compression engine supports V.42bis compression on the
    B-Channel at full speed over ISDN lines. Applied with X.75, V.120, or
    the Bundle protocols, this translates to up to a half-megabits per
    second transfer rate. (That's almost 4-Megabytes per minute!)

    The ISDN Modem has a full feature A/B adapter (analog port) that
    recognizes standard DTMF tones and generates a standard ring signal
    to the connected device. It also generates metering pulses (16KHz for
    Germany and 12KHz for Switzerland) according to the Charging
    Information it receives. If you want, you can use one B-Channel for
    voice communications while sending data over the ISDN through the
    other.

    The key features of the ZyXEL ISDN Modem are:

    * Full compatibility with both ISDN and PSTN
    * Two application program interfaces:
      . ZyXEL ISDN AT Commands
      . CAPI 1.1a and 2.0
    * Supports 1TR6 and EDSS1 D-Channel protocols
    * Supports X.75, V.110, V.120 and Bundle(128Kbps) B-Channel protocols
    * Easy upgrade path using flash EPROM memory
    * V.42bis data compression using the X.75,V.120 and Bundle B-Channel
      protocols.
    * High speed serial/parallel DTE interface
    * Full-feature A/B adapter
    * Digitized voice capability
    * Cryptographic data analyzer with color(ANSI) display
    * Supports NetWare CAPI Manager
    * 8-MB DRAM for on-board fax receiving (optional)
