What's the difference exactly between class 1, class 1.0, class 2, class
2.0, and class 2.1 . I've looked around some online, but can't find any
definative comparison. Which one is the better one to use for faxing?
                -Matt

My experience is only with 1, 2 and 2.0. Long story short, running a modem
in 2 and 2.0 means that the modems firmware handles the conversations,
running in 1 means that the application, in this case hylafax, handles the
conversation. Using 2 and 2.0 means that your processor doesn't have to
handle that work load, but this is largely irrelevant in todays hardware
market, IMHO. Class 1 means that if there are any oddities or bugs in the
firmware of the modem, the application can work around those problems. A
number of modems that do not work well with hylafax in 2 or 2.0 work just
fine in class 1.
