Hi,
sorry for not responding more quickly. I just had too much work to do.

Yes, those two seem to be needed for the cheap USR ones.

International calls can put quite some strain on a fax modem's implementation
(bad line quality, delays, etc.).

I'm not really sure what a RSPREC error is. But it's something like "we
couldn't negotiate what we are going to do now". I've only seen it in USR
Sportsters so far, so it seems to be a firmware issue.

That's a different one. This one just means "there was a transmission
error and the other end hung up, not sending any feedback at the end of
the page". (ALL end-of-page errors are +FHS:5<x>, because "5" means
"end-of-page error", but the different numbers signal completely different
errors).

No idea. But the USR Sportsters are known to have a poor fax firmware.
