Better forget about them when using the modem in fax mode :-)

What about T.30? :-)

The correct settings are:

Class1:
ModemSendFillOrder      LSB2MSB
ModemRecvFillOrder      LSB2MSB
ModemFrameFillOrder     LSB2MSB

Class2:
ModemSendFillOrder      LSB2MSB
ModemRecvFillOrder      MSB2LSB (infamous Rockwell bug)
ModemFrameFillOrder     Not applicable

Initially Rockwell was introduced this bug in its modem's data pump (Class2
also assumed LSB2MSB), which most software and hardware makers had to
follow. I know the only exception -- non-Rockwell Multitech modems, that
implements the original Class2 specs and use LSB2MSB for ModemRecvFillOrder.

Class2.0:
ModemSendFillOrder      LSB2MSB
ModemRecvFillOrder      LSB2MSB
ModemFrameFillOrder     Not applicable

Hope to hear from you soon,
Dmitry
