Hi,
Why are you telling about the Dell driver? I told you in my last email
that your regular driver works in dialup in my computer.
Also, when I do pay for the full license, will you tell me how to set
it up for faxing?

David,
Here's a recent post from one of the developers on the the HylaFAX
newsgroup which address's modems for fax and Linuxant in particular;;
"Can you give me any recommendation on the modem? Am I worrying for
nothing? Please note I want a modem that would work at least as well as
my Canon fax.
The question does get asked a lot. And one of the reasons why there is
not a set answer (or any answer, for that matter) is because the right
answer is going to vary quite a bit depending on your needs and use.
For example, factors such as feature support, price, design... all of
these things make a significant difference in the answer.
You seem to want something that "works well" (most other people want
this, too) and is external. Given those set of criteria I can only
offer one suggestion: the MultiTech MT5634ZBA-V92.
However, that modem uses the Venus chipset which has long been
end-of-life (so you're not likely to ever see any major fixes to bugs
found in the firmware)... it was a good chipset, but it has a few flaws.
If you were to drop the external requirement then I'd say to get a
Mainpine IQ Express (PCIe). Admittedly, I am biased on that
recommendation, but I understand the advantages to it... not least of
which is that Mainpine is actively developing the product... so if there
were to come a problem... I know that it will get resolved.
BUT in both of those cases you may come to find that you do also have a
price requirement as well... and in that case all I can say is to avoid
USR chipsets and to avoid Linuxant (Conexant linmodem) and to roll the
dice and try and see"
I hope that answers your questions.
