Comment 93 for bug 375148

But, very unprofessionally, released stuff which didn't compile, didn't install,
and had never been tested with fax software.

His frustration level is warranted as this has been a Microsoft quality patch
from day one.  When the CD's arrive from On-Disk I will take the time to backup
the 2.5 gig of stuff on my workstation, wipe, and do a clean install from the
LTS distro.  I will actually test it with fax since that is the only use I have
for a modem these days.

Actually, at this point, I'm feeling pretty sad about that box of Courier 14.4
external faxmodems I took to the electronics recycling center.  Yes, it would
have been another ugly bunch of cables, but I would have been free of this issue
and the Intel modem issue.
