Can I control the resolution at which the faxes are sent? What resolution do 
people normally use?  As long as the faxes are legible, I am willing to 
experiment. You are right when you said that there are still 9600bps modems 
out there.

I am planning to switch from MT1932ZDX (14.4k and V.32 data compression) to 
MT5634ZBA-V92 (33.6k and v.44 data compression). Would data compression 
matter for fax transmissions?


Thanks again.
Joe.
