Currently I am running USRobotics Courier of that firmware revision
(33.600 version) with no complaints. Othervise I have tested some other
USR Modems (Sportster, Sportster Voice with 33.600 fw) all has been
working with my system which is sending app. 100 faxes and rec. 50 faxes
a day!
Use the software which is available on
ftp://ftp.usr.com/usr/dl05/sdlpalla.exe for international version of
Courier!
