DTE = Data terminal equipment
DCE = Data communication equipment
 
Class 1 Each EIA command begins with the fax extension characters +F Three general forms of command
syntax are available depending on the particular command.
The three forms are capabilties,status and set. Note that not all forms are appropriate for every command
 
+Fcommand=val
whre command represents the parameter to be set and val represents the desired parameter value
 
Class 2
EIA class 2.0 commands have essentially the same syntax as definited for class 1 and all begin with the extension

for class 2.0 the command syntax used to set the value of a parameter or pass  a parameter that controls modem
operation may support numeric or string values Unlike class 1 commands, however, class2.0 numeric constants must
be specified in hexadecimal.

What's the difference exactly between class 1, class 1.0, class 2, class 2.0, and class 2.1 . I've looked around some online, but can't find any definative comparison. Which one is the better one to use for faxing?
