No problem, I run Faxworks Pro under OS/2, and Winfax under Win95 (both
from Winword 2.0c, as it happens).  Needless to say though, as a Class 1
device.

Thanks for that, Frank.  I wouldn't mind having a look at it.

Of course it's topical here.  Very much so, in fact.

BGFax 1.60 is rather good, especially for those running their Couriers
under Binkley 2.60 and OS/2.  It always amused me that even though USRs
support Class 2.0, they only ever supplied fax software for Classes 1 and
2.  It also struck me as rather peculiar that given the Courier's
flash-upgradeability, USR still didn't bother coding an optional Class 2
SDL.  It's all very well for USR to be supporting the official ITU-T fax
standard, but at what cost?  Without decent Class 2.0 software, it's
essentially quite useless IMO.

Regards, Bill
