[comp.sys.mac] Fax Modems for Macintosh

ziggy+@andrew.cmu.edu (John Salmento) (12/13/88)

I'm looking for opinions and information about FAX modems for the macintosh.  I
know Apple, Abton, and STF make modems and I got their current prices, but I
need to know the following.

   What is the format of received faxed documents?  Are the PICT, TIFF,
bitmapped?
    Is it possible to copy, cut, and paste portions of received FAX documents?

         (if so our old fax machine, can be used as a cheap scanner.)
    How big (Kbytes) per page are the faxed documents (sent and received)?
    How much RAM memory does the FAX software take up?
    How good is the print quality of FAX documents?
    Is it possible for a Group 3 FAX to receive from a Group 2 FAX?
