Logging router errors using syslog

My ADSL router/modem, Zyxel P650R-31, supports error logging to a remote
*nix host using syslog but I can't get it to work.
The router has been set up to log to the local2 facility and I've added
these lines to the end of /etc/syslog.conf:
!*
+P650R-31
local2 /var/log/router/zyxel
and created the log file and restarted syslogd (kill -HUP) - the machine
has also since been rebooted.
There is an entry in /etc/hosts for the router.
I originally made both router/ and router/zyxel 644 root/wheel but have
also tried changing the perms to 777 and changing the group to network.
Can anyuone suggest why this is not working?
Thanks.
Regards,
Mark
