NS 3.0 fax modems : request for info - Zyxel vs Supra

I would like to take the plunge and upgrade my 2400 baud modem to a 9600 V.32,  
V.42bis Fax modem. It looks like the Supra and the Zyxel faxmodems offer the  
best price/performance. 

I understand the NeXT fax support did not work properly under NS 2.1, and that   
B&W has just announced a program that makes the Zyxel work properly with NS 2.1  
and 3.0 (with other modem support promised)

Questions for those with net.wisdom:

1. Does NS 3.0 "fix" the fax support (as NeXT seems to claim), and if so, what  
faxmodems work without 3rd party software additions?

2. Can someone tell us how well B&W solution works with Zyxel modems? I heard  
that the earlier ROM version of the Zyxel has fax-bugs (version 4.13, I think).  
Is a later ROM version required with this modem (version 5.xx)?

3. Does anyone know how the Supra modems compare with the Zyxel?

Thanks.

I'll summarize private mail responses.

Geoff
