Ah the 536EP!  I'm a bit sick of those having been sent 10 (yes, 10) of
them over the past 2 months, each time being told they are hardware
modems!!!!!  AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!   Tried to get one to work,
which it does, sort of, but doesn't work with Hylafax.

I had a look for USR stuff but just couldn't find any controller based
models for sale anywhere.  Ebuyer / Novatech both do winmodem USRs.

What do I have to do... ?????
