I am looking into FAX cards and associated software for a friend.
I am reasonably well-versed with the IBM AT and have a CS background,
and have used FAX machines.  But beyond that I have very little
understanding of how the FAX cards are used.  Some tell me that it is
just a paper saving device.  Others say that the software it comes
with makes it more powerful than just having a FAX machine.  Also,
if someone wants to write software for a FAX card, is there a standard
interface such as the VGA interface for displays?

Thanks!
