Unfortunately Apple decided not to sell the AppleFAX modem in the
UK, so we had to buy our AppleFAX modems via an unscrupulous (?)
Apple dealer in the US. Even if we could get them repaired, the cost
of shipping back to the US and back to the UK again plus repair
costs would probably be prohibitive (not to mention all the
export/import hassles). As I said, I think we'll have to write
them off and find another FAX modem.

Just out of curiosity, why DID Apple kill off the AppleFAX ?
Before our modems started keeling over they worked well. Seems
a waste of R&D to me...
