Chris:
Sending faxes via v.17 (14.4) is quite commons nowadays. The software
from Dr. Perry (GPFax) is almost T.30 compliant and he has versions for
both classic class 2 (TR29) and class 1 (EIA578) modems. I have not heard
that he has done support for 2.0, but then again, there is only two modems
that support it to date. As for v.17 faxing, many stand alone fax
nachines support it and will soon be support v.17terbo as well. I don't
think the software (GPFax) support the short and long modes of v.17 and
must be forcing 9600 transmissions. I have not yet had a chance to stick
it on a Feline or HP protocol analyzer, but I am assuming that the
software limits the modem environment to 9600. From what I can tell, the
only difference between the Supra specific and generic versions is that
the Supra version adds support for Silent Answer. I use the generic
versions fine with a Supra as well as a GVC, USR, and Intel modem.
