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

If money or time is the issue then I
would just keep an eye on it and leave it alone.  If I was you, I
would probably replace it if and when you decide to upgrade the server
it is running on.  I used a external USR 14.4 sportster modem that
I found in box in a closet.  I know about scrapping together servers
and desktops out spit and bailing wire.  I will tell you that I have
had much better performance in my send only environment when I replaced
that USR modem.  Best of luck.
