RE: flexfax: Modems that you can ACTUALLY GET that work well with Hylafax?

[Greg Breland <gbreland@healthtech.net>]

Wow, this would be great.  I would gladly buy 8 of these modems if I knew
that someone had specifically tested them with Hylafax.  I am using 10 Hayes
14.4 class 1 modems.  While these are working well, there is the occasional
1 in 500 faxes that goes crazy and sends 40 pages.  Also, I can not seem to
receive more than about 14 page faxes with them.  

I am not complaining as these modems cost nothing and we work them hard.  I
guess I will order one and stress test it and then order the rest.

Please post your config file when you feel comfortable.  Of course, no
liability on your part even if the modem blows up and takes part of my arm
with it. :)

Sure, if it hasn't been done already I can certainly do that.

However, I'd like to stress test it a bit more to make sure all the
quirks (if any) will be uncovered.

By the end of next month it will have been tested thoroughly enough I'd
imagine.  Where would I send the config file?
