Re: [hylafax-users] modem recommendation

[Per olof Ljungmark <peo@intersonic.se>]

Well, my problem seems to be that I only have access to newer modems + 
USR Couriers. Before I go and get yet another brand I am very interested 
in knowing if there is one available that does work.

Both the Couriers and the new Zyxel seems to have serious problems with 
HylaFAX. I can get both of them to work seemingly fine but after a few 
sends/receives various problems always appear, most of them are known as 
it appears from the hylafax archives.
