Re: [hylafax-users] Zoom USB data/fax V.92 USB Mini External Modem

[Terry <fastsnip-family1@xxxxxxxx>]

Okay - am I worried about V.34?? - Well I found out what it is and the 
answer basically is no - I send less than 10 faxes a year so speed isn't 
a question. Cost is the paramount question.

Tried finding the mainpine fax boards - I could not find a price listed 
anywhere I looked - so that kind of told me that I probably couldn't 
afford the fax board no matter how good it is. I saw one price on the 
Google listing of over $2,000.00, but didn't and don't believe it - 
that's about 40% more than the computer cost.

Think I may have the best solution for me -  am buying a serial i/o 
board for $39.99 and taking the external data/fax modem from the old 
computer that died and plugging that into the serial port on the new 
board. The old modem worked with HylaFAX under FC 5 and so I have no 
doubt it will work with HylaFAX under Kubuntu 7.10.

For 10 faxes more or less pr year, I think I will be very happy to  
continue using the old data/fax modem for faxing and $39.99 works very 
well for me.

I am returning the Zoom USB fax, box unopened.

I thank everybody for their time in instructing me on this issue.

As usual I found the HylaFAX community very willing to help. I also 
found that several years back when I was trying to get HylaFAX working 
with the old modem - that turned out to be an issue configuring the 
configuration files in /var/spool/hylafax (I believe). I have copied the 
old configuration files to backup and so will have those for reference.

Thank You,
Terry
