Modems question

[Roberto Sgarbi <sgarbi@mail.stat.unibo.it>]

I have to buy another modem/fax for HylaFAXing, 
now I'm using a ZyXEL 1496E PLUS w/o problems.

For the same price (w/o a waiting of 90 days)
I can buy a ZyXEL OMNI288S
with a serial port for connecting a postscript printer 
for direct standalone printing of incoming faxes(!).

Is this modem/fax so reliable as 1496E PLUS?
Does anyone tried the OMNI 288S?

Regards.
