Yes and no.  There are some pages which contain old information which is 
valuable under that context, and attempts are being made regularly to 
underline that.  There is too much web content for anyone to maintain in 
its entirety on a part-time hobby basis, so if you'd like to quit your day 
job to do it, be my guest.

Buy a modem that is supported by the manufacturer, that doesn't cost you a 
lot, and that runs Class 1.  Run it in Class 1 unless you are certain of 
HylaFAX's compatibility with it in Class 2 and that the Class 2 firmware 
is solid.
