Steve,

HylaFAX supports 1D MH, 2D MR, and 2D MMR.

ECM is new in HylaFAX, but already seems more robust than the implementation
one finds in most consumer-grade data+fax modems.

As for the tiny fraction that support ECM... well if tiny fraction means
"damn near most of 'em", then I'd say you're about right. Heck, 30-40% of
them even support V.34 these days (for which ECM and MMR are prerequisites).
Our customer send and recieve hundreds of thousands of faxes daily, and the
great majority of them are ECM error-corrected.

I'll admit, these numbers are more representative of the US and Europe than
other regions, but still, 'tiny fraction' is underselling it just a wee bit
;-)
