I have no example but...
Do you know NXFax (commercial,demo on nova.cc.purdue.edu,or send mail to  
nxfax@bandw.com)
It supports ZyXEL and as far as I know Supra works as well.
The v1.02 has a small bug which doesn't clear some bits in special  
registers (38-42). This bug made it impossible for me to receive fax and  
data at the same time. I fixed in it (small binary patch) but I was told  
it will be fixed in 1.03.

PS: I have no connection to bandware except as user and supplier of a  
little binary fix for this problem.
