Actually, hardware-handshaking is not used by FAXstf;  if the 
modem works for v.32bis/v.42 data (which does required HH), 
the cable is probably fine.

As for the question, my Supra shipped with v.2.2.0 of FAXstf
and ROM v. 1.200C.  The ROM version is still current, I believe.
According to the Supra manual, FAXsft v.2.2 or later _AND_
ROM v.1.2 or later are required for the fax feature to work
properly.

Supra will supposedly be shipping a newer ROM later this month
to registered owners, so it might be worth waiting a few weeks
to agitate for a new ROM if fax usage is not an immediate concern.
