A company that I do some consulting for is interested in upgrading an MSDOS machine to XENIX (so they can get some real work done :-) However, they use this machine as a FAX machine, using one of the readily available FAX boards for IBM PC and compatible machines. The question is this: is there any XENIX software to enable FAX boards to run; that way they can be sending/receiving FAX transmissions and still using the machine to perform useful work.

Occasionally when I'm getting SCO tech support, they will fax something to me and they do it though their Xenix/Unix network. I would contact SCO. They probably could tell you a lot about it. -Perry
