You know what?
After watching the exchange on this email, I've decided to migrate to the 64-bit
version of KUbuntu and just give up on Linux ever giving modems the respect they
deserve. I'll have to keep a Windows partition around to send a fax when I
don't feel like paying $2 to that Internet fax site.
Please unsubscribe me from this bug.
