HM> Maybe you should get USR to support common fax standards? :-)

 FF> Or the rest of the industry to support the ITU standards? :-)

For 'rest of the industry' read 'Rockwell Inc.'  If they'd implement Class
2.0, so by default would 90% of the industry of chip repackagers,
hesitating to call them 'modem manufacturers'.  To be fair, board layout
and frontend electronics design still counts for something in clonal
variations, but few have the savvy to implement any protocol code all by
themselves these days.

 FF> Yeah, I know. Whoever has the biggest market share shall

Payback for the ITU-T not ratifying their V.fc as V.34?  :)
