I also have a Neuron 1414. The 1414 was simply a ZyXEL manufactured modem and  
then repackage by Neuron with some additional software thrown in. As far as I  
know there is no soldering required. I have for quite some time also used Craig  
Goss's NXFax and VERY STRONGLY RECCOMEEND IT. I agree entirely with what Philip  
McDunnough wrote in his posting.
