Hi, it's me again.

I had a thought..., why not try running the modem in Class 1 mode
for a while.  If you have the horsepower in your box, then it
should be able to run in Class 1 with few problems.  

Humm, on second thoughts, that won't clearly identify what I 
thought it would, that the modem's Class 2 implementation is broken..
since it is running different code in HylaFax.

BUT, it would give some new statistics FOR YOUR ENVIRONMENT that we
can use a a baseline and make some comparisons.

What do you think?
