Re: [hylafax-users] USR are buggy modems

[Bojan Stojanovic <bojan.stojanovic@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

5630B specification on USR site says that this model supports Class 2.0
faxing. Have you tried it? It seems that bugs with USR/3com modems
mentioned in HylaFAX Handbook were related to modems with Class 2.0
capability...
