Which faxmodems are "recomended"?
Datasys recomend modems with Class 2 protocol (lower CPU usage) and with voice (DTMF) capatibility.

How to switch faxmodem between Class 1, Class 2 or Class 2.0 operation?
Find item "fixclass" in registry HKLM/Software/Datasys/FaxChange/Line#/class2 key, where # stands for line number. And here, you can enter: "0" = Class 1, "1" = Class 2, "2" = Class 2.0, "" = autodetect.

Notes

Functionality
	Does not work. Does not have common protocol with FaxChange, or it's implementation is not compatible.
	Does not work at global. Works with very specific settings / works unstable. Can send only or can receive only.
	Does not work at global. Works in part -- for example, can communicate only to small number of other devices. Or have some other problem.
	Works O.K.
	Works really good -- we recomend to use it!

PABX
	Does not work.
	Works, but have problems.
	Works O.K.

Protocols
ISDN BRI	(ISDN) Works with ISDN "base" connection, 2 * 64kbps + 8kbps.
AOC	(ISDN) Can receive Advice Of Charge information from ISDN connection.
MSN	(ISDN) Can receive Multiple Subscriber Number from ISDN connection. This is equal to receiving PABX from analog switchboard.
FaxG3	(ISDN) Can send faxes to fax machines on analog lines.
DTMF	(Analog) Can receive DTMF signals (ie. PABX from switching board).
Class 1	(Analog) Uses Class 1 protocol for FAX communication.
Class 2	(Analog) Uses Class 2 protocol for FAX communication.
Class 2.0	(Analog) Uses Class 2.0 protocol for FAX communication.
