If it was >that simple, the FAX board/modem would have never be developed. Sorry, >there's more to a FAX machine that just a carrier that is similiar to a modem. I had also been wondering about this question. I take it, then, that even if I were to call at 9600 baud, to a newer FAX, the appropriate protocalls would not be available, so it wouldn't work? Has anyone developed any software that might translate the data into acceptable formats? Or are we talking about apples and oranges, even though the two types of machines seem to serve a similar function? Linda Roise, Seattle University, Seattle, WA 98122 roise@sumax.UUCP
