I would suggest not spending any time with the Class 2x on the Patton 
2977.  The Class 2 firmware is quite buggy even without adding 
V.34-Fax/SuperG3 to the mix.

I never even bothered to test the V.34-Fax capabilities of the new 
firmware simply because I realized that even *if* it did work there was 
no way that it could be used reliably in production, anyway.

As far as I am concerned, those things are Class 1-only.

I, along with some others, lobbied Patton for over a year to try to get 
them to see the value in getting Class 1.0, V.34-Fax in Class 1, 
supported.  We managed to get them to fix a bunch of bugs - some 
particularly severe (which is why these things even work reliably at all 
in Class 1) - but in the end anything that was considered a "new 
feature" was not going to get any traction unless we wanted to foot the 
incredulously immense development costs ourselves.
