The advandage of Class1 is that it's quite simple yet powerful (and easy to
implement for modem manufactured), so most Class1 firmwares are error-free
and will work the same way with the same software. Thus I expect all USR
modems to work properly in Class 1 mode.

They were entirely software-related (i.e. they were the bugs in Hylafax
Class1 driver). Most problems, known to me, has already been fixed. Of
course, it's possible that some unknown bugs are still there. But now I use
Class 1 in the production environment (with Zyxel 1496), and it works quite
good.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Dmitry
