I am looking to buy a fax modem.  Now, there are many, many modems out there
and most of the Fax modems now send and receive.  However, I am not clear on
some of the features.

I am looking for a reasonably inexpensive, sending and receiving fax modem.
It should be at least 2400 baud and fax at 9600.  Now, here is where I run in-
to the strange territory.  There are many modems that do what I mentioned
above, but how about the error protocols like MNP etc?  Do you throw all
that away when chosing a fax?  There was one or two whose ads mentioned that
they had it but the price shot up $200 or so.

Is anyone using a fax modem which they'd recommend?  The ones you almost always
hear about are the Dove and the Teleport, and occasionally the Interfax.

I'd just like E-mail or postings from happy users with the hans-on experience
with any good fax modem.

Thanks!
