Steve,

   V34fax is effectively a fater fax modulation standardized by the ITU in 1996
and based on a modulation similar to V34 data.  Essentially, it provides twice
the speed of a 14400 speed fax modulation.  Until now, fax machines implementing
this have been rather scarce, but the higher end machines shipping now from many
manufacturers now support this and this is likely to hit the consumer space
rather soon.   The link below points to a fax vendor's site with some
explanation. (I hate to try to speak for an industry :-)  Many of the pages I
found when I did this search were in Japanese.

  As far as the changes to Hylafax,  the Class 2.0 interface contains a fair
number of places where the application is aware of the underlying modulation.
  These had to be extended and some hard-coded values need to be parameterized.
  There also were a few bug fixes.

  So what is the preferred tool for generating patch files for large directory
trees these days?
