Should I upgrade?

Hello,
We're using mgetty+sendfax-0.17 (quite old now) und AIX 3.2.5.
I still have occasionally problems with sending a fax, especially to
foereign countries.
The question is:
Should I upgrade?
I don't need no more functionality than 017 provides. A simple and
stable sendfax is the most important thing, followed by a reliable
mgetty to login via the modem. No need for fancy configuration,
faxspool etc. (We have an own printer backend which does the job for
us. It processes faxes in a serial way leading to problems when errors
occur, but that's no problem for us since we don't send too many
faxes.)
So the question is: Are there any real improvements in sendfax which
could improve the stability?
I append some logfile excerpts, maybe someone knows a solution. We're
using a Zyxel 1496 EG+, ROM V 6.13 P under AIX 3.2.5 and the old
sendfax-0.17, we have
#define MODEM_INIT_STRING "ATZ4S0=0Q0&D3&H3&N0&K4PS41.4=1S42.4=1"
in policy.h.
