Forgive me if this is an old or well known subject:
I have a growing network of machines including many Macintoshes, and have been
asked to provide centralised FAX services to these machines.  I have come up
with a couple of scenarios to accomplish this and wonder if I am heading in the
right direction.  If anyone has experiences in this area I would appreciate a
mailing or posting as appropriate.

Orchid FAX modem on Mac - just withdrawn!

FAX/Data modem such as Prometheus Ultima on a Shiva Telebridge - have questions
on this one like how would the modem be arbitrated correctly between FAX and
DATA, send and receive.  Is there some smart HW/SW combination that will work
here?

This seems like a highly desirable thing to do, so either somebody has done it
or it is impossible!
