If the Modular Circuit Technology modem you're referring to is the $119
widget in the JDR catalog, I have one and it does send faxes ok.

I didn't try the entire PC character set but plaintext English went through
just fine.

The software clearly is built to used in attended mode.  There is no
documented possibility of using it from a batch file or from another
program, and I've not been able to get direct access to the modem at
all.  The manual for the modem has a complete listing of all the
commands and registers to use when it's a 2400bps V.22bis data modem,
but omits all mention of FAX completely.  Real frustrating!

Remember that this is a send-only widget also.  I don't think I'd
buy one for personal use, after having played with this one at work.
I think I'd rather spend a bit more and get receive capability too.
