All ZyXELs come with a two year parts and labour warranty.  ZyXEL USA has 
decided to extend the warranty an extra three years.  Thus a ZyXEL USA
modem has a five year parts and labour warranty.

This warranty allows the user to install and change the ROMs on the modem.

Other hardware modifications such as the upgrading of the ROM socket, 
the installation of a capacitor for Caller-ID, and other modifications 
that ZyXEL USA performs MAY keep the warranty intact.  The basic 
philosophy regarding user-modifications seems to be that as long as 
the modification is PROPERLY performed, the warranty will be honoured.
(Burn marks, large holes, etc., would likely void the warranty.)

Specific questions regarding hardware modifications and the effects to 
the warranty should be e-mailed directly to ZyXEL USA.
