But as Dave Hatch has pointed out, what good is a standard if nobody uses
it? The EIA, ITU-TSS etc can issue standards all they like, but if the
industry has already jumped on something else that's better, they've no
chance.

Hence even if class 2.0 fax is far better than class 2, the support among
fax software and modems is minimal -- so what's the good of it?

So what I'm trying to say is that class 2 IS the standard; class 2.0 is (at
the moment) just the EIA barking up a tree.
