Yech!  This has got to be the *worst* piece of software imaginable!

I have a Zoom sendfax modem and was saddled with this horror.  I
successfully used it twice to send faxes, but now it won't seem to work.
I called up the people who write the Quick Link garbage and told them I
was having troubles, they said to boot from their disk and run it that
way (not a very good answer).  I did it still didn't work properly (and
remember, this was without any INITs or CDEVs).  I called them back
again and their attitude was "Oh well...".

If it seems like I am pissed, I am!  However, MacWorld just did a review
of fax modems and they said that the Zoom uses the Sierra chip, which is
what you need to use BackFax.  I will be contacting that company to see
if it really will work.  If so...


Just my grumblings...
Mike.
