Callaghan) Newsgroups: comp.sys.next Subject: SoftPC and Fax Modems Summary: How about using an IBM Fax Modem? Message-ID: <1991Apr9.123534.5220@wam.umd.edu> Date: 9 Apr 91 12:35:34 GMT Sender: usenet@wam.umd.edu (USENET Posting) Organization: University of Maryland at College Park Lines: 18 Originator: mikec@wor.umd.edu Nntp-Posting-Host: wor Here's a new one (hopefully): I have a Fax modem that will work on IBMs and Macs, but not on the NeXT. How about using some IBM FAX software on my FaxModem? From what I understand, the modem isn't really 9600 bps, it just emulates that speed through data compression. If that is the case, then I may not have to go out and pay another $400-500 for a new FaxModem. Comments? Dial 1-800-BAD-IDEA. Thanks, -- MikeC _________________________________________________________ Michael D. Callaghan, MDC Designs, University of Maryland mikec@wam.umd.edu
