As most of you know, I'm considering buying a NeXTstation sometime in the
next two weeks (I'm trying to get the money together).  Responses to my
earlier post were overwhelming; I tried to thank everyone individually,
but in case I missed you..."Thank you!"  :-)

Anyway, I've got one last question.  I've read about the NeXT's awesome
FAXing capabilities.  I need to buy a modem for the thing anyway, so
should I spend the extra money to get one with FAX capability?

The lowest prices I've seen are:

2400bps modem                                    $ 69
2400bps send/receive fax modem                    269
9600bps V.32 modem                                489
9600bps V.32 send/receive fax modem               669

What about it, gang?  Anyone got a fax modem?  Are they worth buying?
Or should I just stick with a plain vanilla modem?

Thanks again for everyone's help.
