Re: [hylafax-users] List of compatible modems

["Andrew Rinaldi" <andrew.rinaldi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi George,

I think that list is pretty useless.... not least because no two modems will
have been tested in the same way or even to the same pass/fail criteria.

None of the 'cheap' modems are supported by the manufacturer when it comes
to fax, and therefore you will have to take a view as to which manufacturer
you are prepared to gamble on.  The Multitech modems have much later
firmware than the Zoom so that might be a reason to choose that
manufacturer.

Do yourself a favour and stick with the Agere Venus chipset.... anything
'new' like the Tellabs or Telindus will be a nightmare.... iFAX
(www.ifax.com) have a range of budget modems that they are prepared to
'certify' with HylaFAX so you might want to buy from them.

One final comment... our 1-Port IQ Express card retails at $399 (US)... I
don't know how much you charge for your hourly rate but you don't have to
spend much time before the board has paid for itself many times over....

Subject: [hylafax-users] List of compatible modems

I was going through the list of compatible modems for HylaFAX and I think it
is maybe a bit old. For example I have Multi-tech MT5600ZDX external serial
modem. It's not listed on the hylafax page but I assume it is ok to use ?

Also I looked into the Zoom modems since they use Venus chipset. Would any
Zoom modem be good enough or do I need a specifc model. This question
applies for other modems such as Zyxel and Motorola.

There are also brands that are not listed.. maybe someone tried Tellabs or
Telindus ?

Basically I need to replace those USR's with something good and cheap before
I go into the Fax Boards ..etc.

Thanks.
