I'm interested in getting a fax modem (Dovefax 24/96), but one things worries
me. I want to be able to print out received faxes on Imagewriter at home, but
the Dove people tell me that it will only print at the screen sresoklution of
72 dpi instead of the printer's 144 dpi capability. Is there anyone who uses a
fax modem with an Imagewriter to print them out? Also, are outgoing faxes
configured as bitmaps as in MacPaint?

Any suggestions besides the Dove fax/modem for reasonable
price/software/hardware reliability?

Also, if I decide to go for the modem alone (2400 baud), is the "Smart One"
modem a good choice? It's certainly reasonably priced! ($115 plus cable right
here at software houses, and via mail order!).
