I had somewhat similar problems receiving faxes from some fax machines using 
a Sportster Voice 33.6. 

USR upgraded the Voice modem to the latest version, but the problem still 
exists. I have an outstanding tech support query with them but they are very 
silent on the matter. In the experimentation I did, the software used doesn't 
make any difference.

As a result, I have gone back to my Sportster 14.4 which doesn't suffer from 
the same problems - and reliably receives from the problem fax machines !
