I would like to take the plunge and upgrade my 2400 baud modem to a 9600 V.32, V.42bis Fax modem. It looks like the Supra and the Zyxel faxmodems offer the best price/performance. I understand the NeXT fax support did not work properly under NS 2.1, and that B&W has just announced a program that makes the Zyxel work properly with NS 2.1 and 3.0 (with other modem support promised) Questions for those with net.wisdom: 1. Does NS 3.0 "fix" the fax support (as NeXT seems to claim), and if so, what faxmodems work without 3rd party software additions? 2. Can someone tell us how well B&W solution works with Zyxel modems? I heard that the earlier ROM version of the Zyxel has fax-bugs (version 4.13, I think). Is a later ROM version required with this modem (version 5.xx)? 3. Does anyone know how the Supra modems compare with the Zyxel? Thanks. I'll summarize private mail responses. Geoff -- Geoffrey Rutledge (rutledge@sumex-aim.stanford.edu)
