  We perform an updated coupled-channel analysis of eta-meson production
including all recent photoproduction data on the proton. The dip observed in
the differential cross sections at c.m. energies W=1.68 GeV is explained by
destructive interference between the $S_{11}(1535)$ and $S_{11}(1560)$ states.
  The effect from $P_{11}(1710)$ is found to be small but still important to
reproduce the correct shape of the differential cross section.
  For the $\pi^- N \to \eta N$ scattering we suggest a reaction mechanism in
terms of the $S_{11}(1535)$, $S_{11}(1560)$, and $P_{11}(1710)$ states. Our
conclusion on the importance of the $S_{11}(1535)$, $S_{11}(1560)$, and
$P_{11}(1710)$ resonances in the eta-production reactions is in line with our
previous results. No strong indication for a narrow state with a width of 15
MeV and the mass of 1680 MeV is found in the analysis. $\eta N$ scattering
length is extracted and discussed.
