  Often in spec sheets and product announcements for dat comm products
I notice that a disntinction between two types of modems. Regular and
Facsimile, and I can't help but notice that facs modems tend to be both
faster and cheaper than thier regular counterparts. 

  So my question is what is the difference between a regular modem and
a facs modem and can I use facs modems to create a cheap, high speed
private network?

				Thanx for listening
