To those who are full of wisdom and wish to share it,

	I'm considering buying a fax/modem to put in my MS-Dos pc but don't
know much about faxing in general; I'm quite comfortable using a modem 
however.  Would someone please explain the differences between the different
fax classes ie what's the difference between a class 2 fax machine and a
class 3 fax machine; also how many classes are there; what are the 
compatibilities between the classes?  Any brand recommendations would be
appreciated along with brands to stay away from;  I would like to be able
to send and receive both text and graphics.  Recommendations for fax software
would also be appreciated.  

Thanks in advance,

Dom

P.S.:  Thanks for the patience of those who have probably already seen
this type of question a million times and tolerate it without being snotty
about it.
