Make sure you get version 1.1 or later of MCC. There are some problems in
earlier releases that cause it to either falsely report an error or not to
fax correctly. Also, when installing, overide the modem type selection and
tell the MCC installer that the Sportster is a type 1 modem. If you have
the misfortune to use Word 6 turn off the option to add the fax stuff to
the bottom of the file menu and let MCC swap the words Fax for Print for
you when you hold down the hot key. (ie Fax� and Fax Setup).

I don't know if the fault lies with USR or their distributors but I work
for a dealer and we are still receiving Sportsters with MCC 1.0 months
after 1.1 was released.
