Re: [hylafax-users] What is your percentage of hard failures



Some failures in negotiation are unavoidable, such as failure of the
remote fax to pick up, or failure to negotiate a carrier.  The simple
expedient of picking up the phone and dialing the fax number will usually
rule out or confirm a problem on the receiving end.

That being said, we went through about 20 modems from different modem
manufacturers before settling on ones that worked reliably and
consistently.  I'm fairly sure our old US Robotics modems actually have
bite marks in them.

We finally settled on the cheapest, most basic modems of the bunch: 
external Boca Teleport A824's.  (I don't mean to imply these are the best
modems for FAXing, since I don't know, but these performed best out of the
junk in our hardware pile.)
