Now I am upset! I bought a PP external because I needed 56KFlex to
support a particular client of mine, and Zyxel did not have the
firmware upgrade ready. I purchased this particular PP modem because
it said it had class-2 fax support, even though it said nothing about
voice. As a result of the above posting, I thought "I wonder...", so
I tried it. FOOBAR! I have been lied to! False advertising. Gross
misrepresentation. I want my money back!

 bash# cu -l /dev/ttyS3 -e -o --nostop -s 115200 dir
 Connected.
 atz
 OK
 AT+FCLASS=?
 0,1

 OK
 ~[eli].
 Disconnected.
 bash# 

It is *NOT* class 2, by its own admission! Boycott Practical
Peripherials! They *LIE*!!!
