Alright, how about this?

I have a Sun 3 with a high res graphics display. Tied to it is a
Dataproducts Postscript laser printer. Also tied to the Sun is a
Palantir scanner. The Palantir saves images in several formats,
including the group III and IV FAX encoding schemes. We have written
the glue to tie all the above equipment together (as far as storing
and manipulating the images is concerned).

It seems the only missing piece is the FAX modem. So...

Could someone provide me with part numbers for the modem chips in the
FAX machines?
