subject: `UNABLE TO TRAIN` FAX PROBLE

SL>>> From what I read in other echos there's a difference 

 SL>>> between 2 and 2.0 when faxing is concerned.

 RG>> I don't know of any fax software that supports Class 2.0 :-(

 RG>  

 RG>> I have Winfax 7 (for Win95) and Procomm Plus 3.0 (has fax

 RG>> capability) and both will recognise my modem (Courier

 RG>> v.everything) as being suitable for  Class 1 only.

 RG>  

 RG>> Why does USR support class 2.0 when all the fax software 

 RG>> vendors and every other modem that I know of supports Class 2 

 RG>> only?



 DD>> I am led to believe that 2.0 is the ITU-T ratified standard.





 RG>  I believe you are right but that leaves the question which has

 RG>  me stumped viz. Why if class 2.0 is the ratified standard do most

 RG>  modems and "all" (as far as I know) software support class

 RG>  2? 



Class 2 was pushed by Rockwell, the same as V.Fc.

I wouldn't put it past Rockwell to arrange Kickbacks to software

companies who support class 2, in an effort to make that the standard.
