Re: [hylafax-users] ok so USR sucks but...

[Jess Sightler <jsightler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Barney,

We do about 200 faxes a day on a cheap old Motorola ModemSURFR (yes, it 
really was called that).  I'd recommend sticking with option 1.  Just an 
opinion, but some of the Couriers at least make some fine modems.  I 
still have an old 28.8 courier from the early 90s that runs rings around 
my modern 56k cheapie modems on bad lines.

Thanks,
Jess
