That should do the trick.  There is a remote possibility that you'll 
need to re-run faxsetup.  It shouldn't hurt to re-run it anyway.

There were no default config changes for the USR modems, as far as I 
remember.  If you, like many other USR users, experience modem lockups 
(if you do, then you'll know what I'm talking about, if you don't then 
you won't), you may want to try setting Class1SwitchingCmd to 
"<delay:7>".  That seems to have helped some people with that problem 
(sadly, it makes the timing at that moment slightly unpredictable).

Class 1.  Class 2.0 on the USRs is really bad, and they don't support 
Class 1.0.

Be prepared for better faxing. ;-)
