Indeed!  I got my ZyXEL last Friday from B&W, and I've been a VERY
happy camper.  It's worked flawlessly, and except for the super out of
date manual that came with it, I've not much to complain about.  Craig
was great.  I probably spent a half hour to 45 minutes on the phone
with him grilling him about the modem, and various considerations I
have to take into consideration with my particular phone setup.  Sure,
I wish I could a have gotten it cheaper, but I think the extra expense
was well worth both the software and knowing that theirs some pretty
cool support guys at B&W.  Look for more cool stuff to come out of
there.
