Jeff,
The difference between Class 1 and Class 2 is where the "work" is
done in the fax send/receive. Class 1 does it in software in the computer,
class 2 does it in the modem itself.
Class 2 was not official until a couple of months ago, prior to
that it was being revised (several times) so most modem manufacturers
didn't try to build to it…since it was a moving target.
Now that it's ratified, I believe that most modem manufacturers
will upgrade the ROMs in their modems to allow Class 2.
