RE: flexfax: MultiTech MT2834ZDXV recommendation?

["Prof. Julio C. Spinelli" <spine001@gold.tc.umn.edu>]

Thanks very much for the information,

As there has been somebody else saying that they are having problems with
this same modem, would it be possible for you to let us know the firmware
release and revision date? Hylafax normally prints this out in one of the
log files, during modem reset.

Out of curiosisty what is the failure rate for all causes, except wrong
number or no carrier that you have with these modems?

With USR sportster I am running at around 8-10% and it is unacceptable

Thanks,

Julio
