Hi,

Some modems MUST be in class 0 in order to do adaptave answering.

If they idle in class 1, then they will ONLY answer as a fax, never do 
the adaptive answer to determin if it's a data or a fax connection.

I don't know if that is the case for the USR modems, as they are such
crap I have never bought one!

Just my $0.02....
