	There are LOTS of fax modems for PCs.  Some are transmit receive
and some are transmit only.  We are using a 4800 bps transmit only fax
modem (and 2400 bps data transmit/receive) available from JDR Microdevices
(408 559 1200) for $119.95.  I'm sure you'll get lots of responses
from others with their favorite fax cards.
	You also mentioned the AT&T Email capability to send faxes.
I have received faxes that were generated this way wthru MCI Mail.  I
don't know about costs.  We've just received stuff that way.  We
generally send stuff out thru fax modem if other end has a fax
machine.  If other end has Compuserve or MCI Mail, we send it
thru internet connection on Cleveland Freenet.  
	
	Good Luck!

	Harold
