People have got USR's working with Hylafax, however I understand that
some of the firmware's are buggy so it is a bit hit-and-miss. Often
people have operated the modem in Class 1 mode (which essentially
shifts much of the processing back to the computer).

I would recommend the MultiTech MT2834Z. I have been using it for
several months and it seems to be very solid.
