Right but It just might solve my "problem". I have a couple of theese things. 
I use my LT for pppd and my USR external for Hylafax (receive only) now. It 
works for receiving only which is what I was mainly interested in. I would 
like to send but those get all screwed up. I can now install my 2nd LT and 
eliminate my USR and hopefully that will solve the situation. I was going to 
set up another server but if this works It'll save some space.

I'll give a report of my success or failure. Seems like many folks have these 
things lying around and maybe they'll actually turnout to be useful.
