The default firmware on the Digi Acceleport RAS cards is highly 
dysfunctional for fax.  Class 2.0 may work tolerably well with the right 
modem configuration, but in my opinion it isn't acceptable.  Class 1 
just won't work at all due to some grave flaws in their Class 1 
implementation.

These cards use the same driver as the Patton 2977.  Patton has a 
firmware that will work.  Unfortunately, it's not a firmware that they 
appear to be providing in their downloadable drivers.  You'll probably 
need to contact them by e-mail or telephone and specifically request the 
"fax firmware" for the Patton 2977.

Once you replace the firmware in the driver it should work quite well.
