- class 2 was a pre standard to the official class 2.0 standard and
- the two are not the same. uggg. Us Robotics has a 14 or so page
- document on the class 2.0 guide for programmers, but i cant seem
- to find it on thier ftp site with the rest of the ascii documantation.
- but dont fear.. you can get it by calling either Usr's ROBOFAX
- at 1 800 ROBO1OD (thats robo 1 o(not 0)d), or if getting the catalog
- of available faxes takes too much time (just the catalog is like a
- bunch of pages) it would probably be easier to get it from usr's bbs
- (1 708 982 5092), and type FAX at the main menu. and you can
- request faxes from the bbs, and the catalog sends alot faster then
- getting it straight from the fax machine, its all nice on your terminal
- and stuff! heh.. just look for the fax titled "FAX class 2.0 documantation
- for programmers guide" or something similiar.. have your fax ready as
- soon as your hang up cause it seems that the bbs sends out faxes alot
- faster then the robofax 800#

- now i will dedicate the following lines as a gripe. according to people
- in comp.dcom.modems, even with all the problems (tech support, etc) the
- number 1 selling modem is sportster 28. the sportster and couriers (with 2.0
- fax) have been out since 1994 AT LEAST. I think its about TIME that Fax
- programmers start adding class 2.0 to thier programs!! dont you? it is the
- standard isnt it? all the latest major releases.. Windows 95, Procomm 3.0,
- Winfax 7.0 none of them have class 2.0!! come on guys get with the fucking
- times
