Re: [hylafax-users] v.34 33k6 fax speed modems?

[Michael Hallager <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

By some interesting coincidence I spotted your site about half an hour ago and 
had a look. The problem is that you're after $499 USD for a 4 port card.

I only need 1 or 2 ports, and I'd prefer an external serial modem. Either way 
I won't spend USD 499. I'm realistic that we're not talking a $20 PCI 
el-cheapo card here, but $499 USD (aprox $674 NZD) is too much of a jump.

I agree with you about the need for v.34 when sending bulk faxes. I'd say 
most, if not all the machines sold today are v.34 capable and yet for some 
bizzare reason the only modems I've found that are (excl yours) are a few 
models of Multi Tech.

At v.17 it takes me circa 3 minutes to send 2 pages of mostly text. I want to 
speed this up.

I found a company on the web offering the suitable Multi Tech for USD $142.66. 
The problem here is they want a $50 receipt of wire transfer fee. They must 
be joking. It costs $15 NZD (Around $11 USD) to receive a wire here and I 
don't think I've seen anyone justify more then $25 USD yet. If anyone on list 
wants to send me relevant **one - off ** commercial offers, be my guest :-)

I await your contribution on any products you have that may suit - and - any 
other's contributions on what (prefer external serial port) modems that have 
had Super G3 success with.
