Subject:  T.1  What is the latest official ROM release(s)?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
        1.04    For Elite 2864 model
        1.09    For Elite 2864I model

        6.15    For U-1496 modems with 1-Mbit EPROMs
        5.05c   For really old non-U-1496plus models 
	        with 1-Mbit and 512-Kbit EPROMs
        6.23    For U-1496P (portable) model

The ROM release previous to the 6.15 was version 6.14.  The latest quick 
reference card and the release notes for the latest ROMs can be obtained
via anonymous FTP from the Taiwan or USA FTP sites.

When a new official ROM revision is released, it is available for *ALL* ZyXEL
modems.  Thus when the 6.14 ROMs were released for the U-1494E modems, it
was also available for the E+/B/B+/S/S+ modems (and other ZyXEL models).

Beta ROMs have been known to ship in modems supplied by ZyXEL USA, so you 
may have a newer version than those listed here.
