GOOD! You might also want to publish any changes you had to make on
your USR's config files.

It should be able to. How do you submit faxes? As text, Postscript, or
TIFF files? And do you have funky things in your config files like
ModemClass, which should be set to blank?

WHOA RIGHT HERE! Try swapping the modems around. Put your Multitech
modems on cua/b, see if they work there. Also be aware that HylaFAX
isn't guaranteed to work remote terminal servers, for a lot of
reasons. 

Try moving the USR over to ther remote server as well, and see what
you get there. It just might be a modem configuration problem.
