I just heard that Everex has shipped a faxmodem which speaks the Class 2
Protocol standard. It is called "EVERFAX 24/96 D". It has 2400 baud
data modem, and 9600 baud send/receive fax modem.

We have software we wrote for Sun workstations to speak to class 2
faxmodems; it is called netfax and is available by anonymous FTP from
alpha-bits.ai.mit.edu

in /pub/systems/netfax/netfax.tar.Z

The system relies on Ghostscript for imaging postscript and text, and
the PBM toolkit for converting to g3 format.
