RE: Zyxel ARA script for ZyXel U - 1496E+ modem
Hello everybody!
Surprise, surprise! We bought two ZyXEL U -1496E+ modems a week ago and found
out by accident that they support 19200bps! Thus, it was necessary to rewrite
the modem script for Apple Talk Remote Access to make it work with this new
generation of modems. Since this script might be of interest to many new users
of Zyxel modems for the Macintosh it would be a good idea to have it posted in
info-mac/comm! Thanks much.
This CCL script now supports the newest ROM version and 19200bps speed
(April1993) for which I didn+t get any written information although the modem
does support this feature. In general, the script supports 57600 baud from Mac
to Modem and back. The settings work with a pair of ZyXEL modems (at 19200bps!)
and with at least two other modems from different manufacturers on a Plus and
on a Quadra 700 including callback, mixed pulse and touch tone dialing, etc.
Since some national telephone systems or switchboard telephone equipments don+t
give the anticipated dialtone, I have included an escape sequence to override
this necessity just in case (changes the script from X6 to X3). If there are
any problems please let me know. However, I cannot guarantee that this hack
will work for every ZyXEL modem. If it works for you, drop me a line, please.
