Yes.  In your case you'd want to apply it to the SRPM and rebuild.

All RedHat versions' are built from the same SRPM.  In other words, you 
can use hylafax-4.1.5-1rh7.src.rpm.

Yes.  The modem's firmware is at fault here.  Blame the USR.

It's unusual and highly characteristic of USR modems.  I've not seen it 
with other brands' but conceivably it could happen.

We didn't see this kind of thing until very recently, so given that OLD 
firmware is seeing this problem, I suspect that something new such as 
new Linux serial driver or a new fax machine model out there or 
something like that has uncovered the USR firmware flaw.

You can try getting this resolved with USR technical support, but good 
luck.  I've never had any with them.
