Firmware upgrades are available for free via anonymous FTP to sites 
carrying ZyXEL ROM images.  U1496 users, however still need to provide their 
own EPROMs, EPROM burners, EPROM erasers, etc.

ZyXEL USA is offering to upgrade U-1496E models to U-1496E+ models for
US$150 (plus shipping).  Upgrading your U-1496E to a U-1496E+ by this 
method will ensure that your warranty remains valid.

There are reports that a U-1496E can be upgraded by users to a U-1496E+
for substantially less.  This "do-it-yourself" method seems to work.  
It would also void your warranty.

ZyXEL is now shipping the new Elite 2864 and the Omni 288 modems.  The
offer from ZyXEL USA to upgrade to the new Elite and Omni modems expired
on September 30, 1995.  Contact your local dealer for more info.

The new Supreme series is currently in beta testing and *not* shipping.
The ETA for the Supreme series is 06/96.  When the Supreme models
are shipping, U-1496S/S+ users will be offered an upgrade.
