From the catalog at Baechler (Fribourg) :

CARTE PC ISDN 64/128KB/s. COLUMBUS ITK 
           INTERNET-FAX-VOICE POUR WINDOWS 95     Fr. 149.10

MODEM ISDN + 2AB OMNI-NET EXTERNE 
           ZYXEL OMNI-NET+                                  Fr 326.95

The PC Card of Columbus seems to have fax capabilities, no ? But it
has no 2AB. The Modem has 2AB (what does this mean ?). And no fax ? 
I want the fax on my PC, as well as Internet. Voice is not necessary,
I have a phone for that.
