*From the amount of questions about *exactly* this problem seen on the
mailing list lately, *ALL* Sportsters seem to be unable to send class 2.0
fax. The error message differs (sometimes it's +FHS:24, sometimes it's 
+FHS:25, sometimes it's a weird failure after transmitting the page), but
all in all, I haven't received ANY success report.

The Courier is fine. It can be improved (polling doesn't work), but basic
functionality is good.
