ZyXEL modems will capture the name of the remote modem when bit 1 of 
S-register 13 is enabled (AT S13.1=1).  This information is obtained 
during the V.42 handshake sequence.  Since the information is an OPTIONAL 
feature, it will only work when the remote modem has also implemented this 
feature.  Some, but not all manufacturers have implemented this feature.

When this information is captured, it is then shown via the ATI2 command, 
in the "Last Speed/Protocol" field.  The following is an incomplete list 
of possible modem manufacturer information:
