The reason is that the fax-drivers for NeXTstep 2.0 were written at a very early stage of the class-2 development. So NeXT wrote drivers that worked with the more popular fax modems at that time... 3.0 will have drivers that will work with most of the fax-modems on the market, and writing drivers for fax-modems that aren't supported shouldn't be too difficult. andrew -- andrew@cubetech.com Andrew Loewenstern | "listen: there's a hell of a good universe Cube Technologies, Inc. | next door; let's go." --- e.e. cummings
