Chris, For my ZyXEL 1496e the register that you're wondering about is S10. A description follows: S10 Default=7; Sets the duration in tenths of second, that the modem waits after loss of carrier before hanging up. This guard time allows the modem to distinguish between a line hit, or other cause that momentarily breaks the connection, and a true disconnection (hanging up) by the remote modem. I set this to 30 for 3 seconds to hopefully cover a line hit caused by a dreaded roomate picking up the phone somewhere in my house 😉 It has worked for me on some occasions and not on others. Although before I would always be disconnected when another phone in my house went off-hook. Scott
