I imagine you can pick these up for a pittance now on the used market. What I found was the sending compatibility of the US Robotics modem was really good, but the receive compatibility wasn't quite as good as our Multitech; a few machines had trouble sending to the US Robotics modem. I used it as a send-only modem in our Hylafax system in order to avoid tying up the Multitech. We were a small manufacturing company and when we got a project started it wasn't unusual for our purchasing department to send off three dozen faxes in rapid succession and get faxed replies back for each one. We had incoming DID with each number routed to a different email address. Hylafax handled it really well.
