ATA->ERROR with ZyXEL U-336S

Hi there,

After having lots of problems with a USR Sportster, I finally got a
ZyXEL U-336S (the loarge one with the LCD display). Well, it looks
great, itīs big enough to place my ISDN-TA on top of it, but it does not
work as I expect it to :-(

When I call it, it says "RING", mgetty says "ATA", the Modem says
"ERROR". Very nice, after the 5th time init says "mgetty respawning too
fast".

I can reproduce the problem easily using minicom. I use the default
configuration, and tracked down the problem a bit: I have to insert a
large pause between the RING and the ATA, and another pause after the
ATA and before the Carriage return. If I use a answer-chat like 
   "" "\d\d\d\d\d\dATA\d\d" "CONNECT", 
it works _sometimes_. This is annoying, isnīt it?

I upgraded to the last firmware 1.16 (I didnīt remember with which
firmware it was shipped), and downgraded to 1.14, same problem.

any ideas?

P.S. please cc direct to me, Iīm not on the list. Thanks!
