Hello people,

Actually, the subject says it all. I am about to buy a budget ADSL modem and
the alternatives are

Hayes (Zoom) H08-15810 and
Zoom X3 5560

To my liking, the Hayes one is cheaper, but the brochure specifically states
that it is based on an LSI chipset (what is this - is it good or bad?)

We have been using the X4 version of the Zoom for a while now, without major
problems except for occasional disconnections which get fixed after
power-cycling the modem.

I will appreciate any comments/pointers deeply.

Many thanks in advance,
-arifi

Honestly, the Hayes one is too new for many people to have used it. It
just came out maybe 6 weeks ago? But we got a few to test out and eval.
Hayes and Zoom are the same company.
The config screens on the Hayes are virtually identical as the Zooms.

The LSI chipset is brandnew as well, I don't know of anybody else
using them. For the pricepoint, obviously they are going very
cheap, cheaper than the Globespan/Virata chipset that the Zoom routers
use. The RTOS it uses is embedded linux. This is very much like the
TI chipset solution that the latest ActionTec ADSL router uses.

Our eval one seems stable enough. We never really stress tested it for
long term stability, but it worked well enough in the lab.

Many thanks for the info, Doug.

If the Hayes is so new, then it would be a safer bet to go with the X3, I
assume.....

Best,

Who do you have DSL through? You are over-simplifying the decision. It

is not just on features, but chipset and interoperability as well. ADSL
still has a lot of interoperability issues, and you cannot look at
features only. Tell us what network you are on, and then we can advise
which modem to get on ebay.

Hi Jim,

Sorry for the late response. The ADSL provider in this case will be Turkish
Telecom, in Turkey.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance.

Hayes is such a horrible company that I'd be hard pressed to ever use
them. I got the Zoom 5554 modem up and running with my SBC service by
following the advice here:

http://www.robert.to/reviews/zoom.htm

I'm glad I did it because now I know how my DSL works and don't have a
"locked out" modem from SBC that I have to pay for but don't really
own....

You do realize that Hayes is owned by Zoom? If you took a look at the
Hayes configure screens you'd sware you were configuring your Zoom router..
They also own a few other ancient modem brands that don't tend to be seen
much anymore.

No I didn't! I guess I'm out of date.

I actually filed a small claims lawsuit against Hayes about 15 years
ago (and settled) over their mislabeling of a V.90 modem. (an old 9600
bps standard).
