The prototype config files are as good as they come.

Sending us log files would help us help you.  That said...

Hopefully in your searches you've noticed that you should not use USR 
Class 2.0 because the USR firmware is known to be rather flawed.  On top 
of that, if you're using HylaFAX 4.2.0 or newer you will support more 
features in Class 1 than the Class 2.0 firmware does.

It's generally understood that hardware flow control (RTS/CTS) on the 
USR modems is broken.  I don't know if it applies to Class 2.0 or not, 
but you should stick with XON/XOFF.

So, switch to Class 1, xonxoff (re-run faxaddmodem).  If you continue to 
have problems send the logs with SessionTracing set at 0xFFF.  There are 
firmware bugs with USRs in Class 1, and we can't do anything about that, 
but by far they seem fewer than in Class 2.0.
