I purchased a really cheap 14.4 .42bis modem at Fry's the other day.  It claims to have to GroupIII FAX compatability, but when I tried it with NeXT's classII driver or Interfax driver (really the same, I realize) I get the following error:

	!! No such device: !! Wakeup Pipe
	(on the console)

I'm really confused.  Does NeXT's driver not support all classII devices (and by extension classIII drivers)?  have I done something wrong?  I checked
/usr/lib/NextPrinter and sure enough the driver is there...

I'd appreciate any help or even a suggestion of a possible software fix or other
cheap modem.  Thanks in advance.

ps.  Oh I almost forgot.  The modem is made by The Complete PC and is called
Turbo Modem Plus.  It was $300.
