Hey,

I've got the fucking USR Sportster message plus - and either the
standalone Fax-receive does not work (Firmware 12.1.24)
or the Faxprocess is interrupted after the first page (with class1 and
class2.0) with the newest Firmware 12.1.25.

So beware of US Robotics - they don't answer any support-mails neither.
