I have been using two MODEM MULTI-TECH SYSTEMS MT2834ZDX/0314C
modems for nearly a year serving all of our incoming faxes, after 
giving the USR Sportster modem to someone who had been bugging me.
The USR is just not reliable enough for standalone/server operations, though
as a home modem it seems to be fine.

The 2834s occasionally have a fax come in that looks like the entire
page has been squished into 1/2 inch or so.  Usually repeats from a given
site two or three times, then the problem goes away, so I can't really
blame the modem.

I have been meaning to do outgoing faxes using these, but with three
different document processors being used in a fairly small office
on several different architectures, it has been too much of a 
hassle to interface.
