I am in the market for a Mac telecommunications package to use with my
2400 baud modem.  The most desired feature would be a Multifinder-compatible
background down/upload facility so I could do more productive things while
the computer is transferring programs in the background.  Nothing worse than
waiting for a 600Kb file to finish downloading...

Also, I am curious about FAX capabilities and FAX modems.  Does anyone out
there have experience with the Dove package or other FAX modems/software?
Do they have the background capabilities described above?

Anyone tried the White Knight 11.01 package?  I tried Red Ryder and threw
it out when I found out it acted up under Multifinder.  Does White Knight
have the background feature?

Respond via email and I will post if I get a good response.

Thanks,
Chris Magnuson
