I've never seemed to have a problem with it..... It might not be
specification-compliant, but it does seem to display faxes at the correct
resoltuion and it supports multi-page tiff files...

Is there any other software it would work with? Is there any situation under
which it might work? If you don't mind saying, what is missing for
full t.38support?

Also with ECM being present now, that should eliminate distortion? Its at
random places during the fax there are "glitches" such as parts of the line
missing or being shifted a bit, but that isn't with the latest version.
