Fine is supported most everywhere, but it takes twice as much time to
send a fine page as a standard resolution page.  There are a few of
us pathological types that use Fine regularly because of the quality
improvement, but not many.

In my mainframe-to-fax application (I'm using a couple of Connection
Coprocessors), I use standard resolution all the time because the
character generators in the card contain low-res fonts.  Fine doesn't
buy me diddly in that particular environment.
