Well I'm assuming that since their 800 number is disconnected and that  
they don't pick up their phone tha Neuron is pretty much out of business.  
Anyone have any news to the contrary?

In May, Art Isbell and Kelly Thompson made a few posts about acquiring  
ZyXel ROM updates for use in the Neuron 1414's. At that time, the current  
ROM version was 4.09e which fixed a number of problems but had a few  
others, and a recommendation was made to wait for 4.10.

Does anyone know what the status is of the ZyXel ROMs?

The specific problem we encounter on our 1414's is that while transmitting  
to some fax machines, the connection will be broken (after a significant  
delay) during the confirmation phase between the cover page and the body  
of the fax. Has anyone else run into this? It's quite repeatable with the  
receiving fax machines that induce the problem. Is this a problem in the  
ROMs or in the Neuron driver? (I'm praying it's in the ROMs...).

Perhaps I should add my two cents (Dfl 0.02), because the reason of  
malfunctioning of MY Neuron modem I've never seen described before, and it  
might be a very general 'bug'. I discovered it in May, when it steadily  
grew warmer in the Netherlands (even got days with 20+ degrees - Celsius  
that is). You know what: as soon as the room temperature goes beyond 23,  
the modem starts to get 'carrier problems', the SQ (signal quality) light  
starts to flicker and after a while (on a News transfer) it simply  
declares 'carrier lost'. I solve this by getting a litre pack of yoghurt  
out of the refrigerator and laying it on the modem just a quarter of an  
hour before the news transfer starts: no problem (that's how I got this  
one - temperature is now 24).
