RE: if the specific Agere 620 driver supports FAXing ----------------------------- >From http://www.lsi.com/networking_home/networking_products/modem_chip_sets/pc_modems/sv92pp/index.html?locale=EN&remote=1 V.92 soft modem chip set solution is for the PCI applications. The LSI SV92PP chip set is a two-chip solution consisting of an LSI SV92PP PCI interface and a CSP1040 silicon DAA. It supports V.92/V.90/V.34 data and FAX rates up to 14.4 kbits/s. The SV92PP is an interface device with the memory required for receiving, transmitting, and buffering data sent between the host system (soft modem stack) and the DAA or line codec. ------------ My expectation is that this well also be true for Linux.
