Lee:

The answer to your question about my motivation for choosing class 2 as 
opposed to class 1 got me to thinking.

The answer is probably ignorance.

You see, this was my first project of this kind and hylafax seemed a 
natural choice with an active user comminity and my commitment to use 
open source when possible.

The documentation spent all of 5 sentences (that I found) explaining 
what the 5 different class options were, but it didnt seem to explain 
the consequences of a particular choice, and I innoncently figured that 
a newer protocol must mean more options.

I'm an IT department of one here, and its very difficult to rely on 
yourself when you know you dont know what you are doing.  But you are 
confident that you can muddle through and figure it out.  This requires 
a major dependance on the user community, and you have been great (all 
of you).

So, I'd suggest  some sort of "decision school" that explains what the 
decisions are and what they mean to the course of your hylafax 
experience, because as we all know, good setup and initial configuration 
can fix 80-90 % of all problems.

Just my two cents worth
