I am currently implementing a fax communications capability for our
gateway.  Initially, this will allow us to deliver electronic mail
(and other prepared text) to fax machines.  The next phase is to allow
the delivery of received fax images to bitmapped workstations.  Then,
onward and upward to becoming a full mmm site.

Due to flow control problems with standard fax machines, it is required that
a separate pc be used to communicate with the fax machines (I am currently
planning on using an IBM PC running Xenix (V.2)).  My only problem is that
I have been unable to locate a modem which will talk with the fax machines.

Thus, if anyone has any information regarding a fax compatible modem, I would
greatly appreciate a response.
