[comp.dcom.modems] High Speed Fax/Data Modem

flash@lehi3b15.csee.Lehigh.EDU (Stephen Corbesero) (08/25/89)

Is there a modem that can be usedboth for high-speed communications
(9600, 19200), AND for fax transmissions?

Our application would be to make such modems available in a modem
pool, where the majority of users would be pc-based systems.  My guess
is that we would be able to get software to translate images into fax
format from graphic or scanned images, but I am not aware of a modem
with a split personality.
