I'm not sure what to call it when the user does something incorrect but 
then the software compensates.

Fax speeds don't go slower than 2400 bps, so I guess the two options are 
to 1) error-out on the sendfax command, or 2) proceed and just do 
whatever seems best.

In general HylaFAX seems to have originally been designed with #2 in 
mind.  Users, however, seem to want #1 most of the time, so in that 
respect maybe it is a bit user-unfriendly and could potentially be 
considered a bug.  I guess it depends upon the perspective.  I've no 
opinion either way, though.

Thanks,

Lee.
