GPFax does support CLASS 1, but not with the SUPRA version.  You require a
CLASS 1 version.

Unfortunately we have not seen a 'Digicom Scout Plus FaxModem' and cannot
be sure it will work with your modem.  We are attempting to get a hold of
a US Robotics FAXMODEM (class 1) to test with and once we can confirm that
it works with that modem, we hope the software will be compatible with
many other Class 1 fax modems.  If your modem uses the ROCKWELL chip set,
I would say the software DOES work as we have it working with AVTEK modems
(made here in Australia) which use the ROCKWELL class 1 chip.
