I can't be quite as happy - I have a USR Courier, a MultiTech MT2834ZDX,
and a Telebit WorldBlazer. Of the three, the USR seems to be the most
stable. The MT seems to, every 50-100 faxes or so, "time out" and I get
an error message "Unable to configure modem for fax use". The next fax to
that modem goes fine, so its clearly a very strange and transient problem,
but in the meantime, the fax that died needs to be resubmitted because
HylaFax kills the job rather than reroute it to another modem. Anybody
interested in rexamining that behavior?
I'm getting ready to install a bank of 8 USR 33.6 modems, though -
leftover from a dial-in pool upgrade, I hope to get it functioning in the
next few weeks.
