If spending the money makes someone feel good, then that's one thing,
but spending that money won't fix the firmware flaws in the Courier
itself. I strongly suspect you'd be experiencing the same trouble with
most any program.

Most anything will be better than the USR, if configured correctly.
Still, I have yet to find an analog fax modem that doesn't have *some*
kind of firmware trouble. I've tested MultiTech MT5634ZBA-V92's quite
thoroughly, and there are very, very few flaws with it's Class 1
implementation, and very, very few flaws in it's Class 2/2.0/2.1
implementation in the 1.28 firmware revision (which may not be released
yet). But still, there are flaws. I've not yet detected a problem
using BrookTrout TruFax cards (using HylaFAX enterprise software from
iFax), but I have not tested them as thoroughly as I have the others.

It's debatable as to whether the sender or the receiver is at fault
here. Now, if there is a firmware fault at play here, then that could
complicate this, but basically the scenario is that the receiver
rejected page quality, expected the sender to resend the same page, and
instead it hung up. So maybe they intend to call back? Hard to tell
what's going on here.
