I'm just wondering what's gained by using a buffering modem with HylaFAX.
Outside of the usual warnings about USR modems, just what extra abilities
does a buffering facility offer over the status quo? The only thing I can
think of is that a buffering faxmodem might be able to reset itself faster
after an attempt or transmission, but offhand I can't think of anything
else.
Is it really worth the bother?
