The USR modems do not have the V.21, V.27ter, and V.29 modulation schemes needed to communication with a Group 3 fax machine. Therefore, he'll need a separate fax modem. -- Toby Nixon, Principal Engineer | Voice +1-404-449-8791 Telex 151243420 Hayes Microcomputer Products Inc. | Fax +1-404-447-0178 CIS 70271,404 P.O.

USR modems are marketed in various countries outside the USA. The DUAL STD and HST both have an Sreg setting to enable or disable v.21. The modem will by default connect to an answering v.21 modem. ______________________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- x || William Necka - __/ \__/\/\/\/ \____ Motorola Cellular || uunet!motcid!necka / \__/ \ _/ [][\_ Arligton Heights Il. || Opinions expressed are not \__/ \__/ (________) 708-632-4435 || necessarily my employer's. _____\__/__________()__()________________________||____________________________ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
