We used to use FAX/400 and now use Quadrant Fast/Fax.  The biggest 
problem we had with FAX/400 was trying to use 2 lines.  When multiple 
faxes were destined for the same fax number, FAX/400 would try to dial 
on both lines.  Obviously one would get a busy signal if the other is 
connected to the other fax machine!  Fast/Fax will group faxes going to 
the same number and prevent failures due to both lines dialing the same 
number.
