Don't know about a ZyXEL, but this did it on a CISCO:
1. In the router, turn on logging, set a facility name, and identify the
log host:
====
logging facility local1
logging 216.42.99.195
====

2. On your linux box, in the syslogd.conf, add that facility and where
you
want the output to go. On our box we put it in a separate file:
====
# router stuff
local1.*                               /var/log/router

3. When you start syslogd, add the "-r" parameter so that it accepts
network
logging, i.e.
====
root       770     1  0 Mar24 ?        00:02:43 syslogd -m 10 -r
====

Hope this helps!
