USR Sportsters have (most of them) VERY BAD class 2.0 implementations.

If you want a cheap modem, you get a cheap modem.  If you want

efax and hylafax both can use the "class 1" modem interface, but that is
just another can of worms.  (Timing is difficult, and things get
unreliable if the system load is too high).
