Yes, Group 3 (or G3) is the standard almost all stand-alone FAX machines
use these days.  However, many of today's FAX machines are also 9600 baud,
so that card will take about double as long to send a FAX to these machines
when compared to a 9600 baud FAX card.  (The 9600 baud FAX machines will
drop down to 4800 baud when talking to that card.)
