We bought one and had a problem trying to print a high-quality FAX
to our DeskWriter (the DW software complained "Not enough memory. OK?").
A snide reply from the Abaton tech rep went something like "1 Meg!  I
can't believe Apple even sells 1-Meg Macs anymore!  Get more memory."
I solved the problem by squeezing the display window down as small as
possible.  We now have 5 Megs and no more trouble.

The biggest pain with the InterFax software is that if you use the
modem for data communications, you have to keep going to the control
panel to disable the InterFax controller.  Why doesn't Abaton allow
you to disable it until further notice?  (Init/Cdev does the trick,
but requires a reboot, not unlike removing the InterFax cdev from the
system folder...)
