[comp.dcom.modems] Facsimile on PC

SIMON1@HBUNOS.BITNET (Simon Shickman) (12/13/87)

I hope that this is the right place to ask:

We would like to have ficsimile on PC.  What should I look for?
Hints, warnings, soft/hardware problems.

Thanks,

There is a board you can plug into the backplane that purports to give you
full FAX capability with editing. Of course, I forget the name, but if you
look in the literature...

For just transmission of fax data do you need any more hardware than a modem ?
Does anyone know how data is sent via fax - bit image, compressed ???
