What ROM version do you have in the ZyXEL?

I haven't really got around to putting Faxination through its paces
yet - I successfully sent a one page test fax, generated from my own
TextEdit-based editor.

I have a ZyXEL U-1496E, currently running ROM version 6.14.  I think I
had this version when I sent the test fax, but it might have been
6.13.  (Version 6.14 adds Class 1 Fax support; 6.13 only supports
Class 2 and 2.0.)

My cable is as per the Spectrum manual.  Handshake out goes to RTS and
DTR (I have the modem configured to ignore DTR in its saved settings -
I think Faxination uses ATZ as part of the init, rather than AT&F, but
I haven't confirmed this).  The general purpose input comes from DCD.

Here's a dump of my current settings, which should be pretty close to
what I used when I last used Faxination.
