Marvin, I'd love it if you would identify a particular brand/model of modem that works best under Linux. I'm so frustrated with the 4 different modems I've tried. I'll gladly spend for a modem that will definitely work. Thank you for all your hard work! I really really appreciate it! Thanks!

Cat, For fax service, you should not rely on a winmodem, but get one of the "hardware"/controller chipset modems, which are a bit more expensive than the winmodems. But their serial like drivers are in every Linux release. Search the Internet for 3CXM556 and/or FM560LK chipsets to find modem cards having them.
