JDR Microdevices (1-800-538-5000) has a combined 2400 baud modem
4800 baud fax card for PC XT's and AT's, for $119.95

It's described as 4800 baud Group 3 transmit only fax, 
2400 baud V.22bis modem

It does not say the magic words Hayes compatible.

Has anyone used this card ? What are your opinions about the modem
part : is it actually Hayes compatible, or close, and can regular
comm packages use it easily ? 

About the fax part, I do my letters on a Brother HR15 daisywheel printer 
(it's said to be Diablo 630 compatible). If I have a file with Brother 
specific escape codes (f.i. to set characters per inch pitch), 
will the fax card software send a faithful replica ? (I don't mind
if it's not the same font). 

Thanks,
