I have had great results using WinfaxPro on a Zoom modem. so long as the
modem is either CAS or Class II (fax modem specs) this software should work
okay (don't be confused with Group III fax standard which is the standard that
fax communicates at, Class II is the standard which your PC talks to the
modem to send faxes). I have heard that Faxit for Windows is similar but have
never seen it. WFP is wysiwyg, especially if you have a type manager running
like Adobe Type Manager or True Type and you just print to the fax device and
it faxes it for you, either now or later if you specify a certain time.
Highly recommended.
