Faxing the same page to a normal fax machine causes no problems. Also
faxing to another Windows computer using WinFax doesn't cause any
troubles.

I tried the same scenario with an other ZyXEL U1496E, that has an older
BIOS, but the the received faxes are still crippled.

If you want, I'll make one of the received crippled faxes available online.
