Re: flexfax: Which modem works best with HylaFAX?

[Tim Fredrick <fredrick@acd.ucar.edu>]

Our situation was exactly the same -- I never got the USR voice modem to
work so we switched to a Multitech internal modem.  That worked, but we got
corrupted output all the time.

So my final solution was to go with a Viking external 56 Kbps modem attached
via a serial cable.  That has worked like a charm (beware of the internal
Viking modems -- I found that many if not all were Winmodems)
