: Yes, the &D3 command HAS been dropped from USR firmware with
: the latest release.  New Sportsters (Plug and Pray models) and those
: upgraded to "V.34+" firmware will respond to this command with
: "ERROR".

: their customers acquire a binary editor and make the change to their
: compiled modem command file themselves.

I patched FW to use &D2, but still are unable to fax.  I now get 
SndErr's.
