Latest != greatest.  The 4.13 version has a bug which screws up FAX receiving  
on the NeXT (but apparently not on PC's where they presumably test it).  I got  
burned by this same thing by buying the ZyXEL hardware from a discounter,  
rather than through Craig Goss of B&W (author of NXFax) directly.  Despite  
this, Craig was extremely helpful about getting me upgrade ROMs in short order  
(thanks Craig!).  I recommend talking to him before you do anything.
