Havealoha Put an ordinary phone on your test line, and verify that it has a dialtone. However we have predominantly had failure reports with the 0x10573057 chipset. If you need FAX for commercial purposes, it would best to but a Controller Chipset modem. The "software" modems are really cheap consumer devices.
