Of course my answer may be is silly. We used Zyxel rackmodem 16 devices
+ serial port cards + hylafax. Zyxel works flawless when call goes
via public voice net (PSTN), but never will work properly when call
goes via Voice over IP (VoIP). Previosly we use Memotec VoIP (very
wrong). Now we use Alcatel buil-in PBX VoIP trunks (satisfactory
quality).
Eicon works via VoIP as miracle. Nobody can explain that thing.
Now Zyxel rackmodem rust in the storeroom.

Eicon related error is about 0.5%. Who knows, is error Eicon related?

Off topic: I check out various fax servers under Windows - there Eicon
Diva Server realy beat any analog modem. Looks like up-to-date fax servers
cannot understand how to works analog modem.
