The 3com/USR Professional Message Modem is a combination of a V.90
modem with a stand-alone answering machine and fax receiver.

Tracing back this error, I recognized that the automatic detection
routine does not work well with the manufacturer ID returned by the
modem. The modem answers "U.S. Robotics..." which does not match
"USRobotics..." in the Class 2.0 USR file with rtscts flow control.
I copied usr-2.0 to usr-pmm-2.0 and changed the CLASS line to be 
matched to something like
	U.S.\ Robotics...
I do not recall it exactly - the file is at home. The backslash is 
mandatory. I reran the faxaddmodem command and now faxing works as 
expected. Thank you very much for pointing out the problem to me. 
If anyone is interested, I can post the complete usr-ppm-2.0 config 
file to this mailing list.

Best regards,
Boris
