Avoid USR like the plague!  If you search for USR in the mailing list
archives you will find pages and pages of USR related problems.  Most
problems that I have heard of are because USR/3Comm MODEMs do not stick to
the standards (class 1/2/2.0) as well as other MODEM manufacturers do.  

Although I got my 56K USR Fax/MODEM to work; but only after hours of agony
and pain.  And in Class 1.0 mode only.

Off of Hylafax's home page you should find a nice listing of modems that
have been tested and known to work with Hylafax.  

My 2 cents.
