Brooktrout also requires you to install a software licence key to
enable features on the hardware.. don't like that at all. I did find
Multitech's MultiModem II rather interesting. A few hundred bucks for
it and you got a pretty reliable modem. You could get a few of those
for the price of 1 fax board.
