Andrew,

Do you not believe that the use of good quality network-serial adapters, and
virtual servers - if they are VERY FAST, would work reliably?  I believe that
many virtual servers out there are over-powered and under-utilized.  At least in
my case I have been experimenting with VMware Server (free version) on my
personal Acer Aspire 3000LMi laptop, and am using with it an ESP-2MI serial
adapter with a good serial modem - it receives and sends faxes just fine.
