The new beta from ftp://ftp.hylafax.org/hylafax/source/BETA/ has the AT+FNR
fix in the config file(ie 'can't report noise frames correctly bug') which
hopefully should handle the more recent modems.  The 1996 models are
obviously a problem, perhaps a big note somewhere in the documentation or
in faxaddmodem somewhere to only try to run them in Class 1 - hopefully
these are gradually fading into history.

For the latest release models if anyone has any other changes that improve
the reliability that would be much appreciated.
