The software that comes with the EzFax 96i, that I have, is incompatible
with Windows 3. The program works, however there are trasmission errors /
problems. The only way {I have found} to solve the problems is to give the
program exclusive dibs on the CPU. Are there any Windows 3 fax programs that
will work with my board? Any help will be appreciated.

P.S. The board is in a 386sx running at 20mhzcb@sequoia.execu.com (Christopher D. Brown) (09/26/90)

I spent $460 for the Intel Connection Coprocessor rather than $200 for EzFax to assure a good fit into the Windows environment. Since I have yet to take delivery, I can not gloat over my choice. A product called "FAX It" (??) may help, but I would expect that exclusive mode will be required for any DOS based solution. Hope this helps ... Chris -- Christopher D.

It is very easy to use and the printed output from a received fax looks much better than the output from Intel's Connect program. It prints about twice as fast as well. -- Dan Mutchler | ARPA/Internet: mutchler@EBay.Sun.COM Sun Federal System Engineer | UUCP: ...!sun!mutchler -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flying back from Lubbock, I saw Jesus on the plane Or maybe it was Elvis, You know they kind of look the same. -- Don Henley

I think the problem he has started with his fax board is a software problem from the fax manafacturer. I have been using an Intel Connection CoProcessor with Win3 for about 9 months. Alien computer has a software package which works with a couple of different hardware cards. Try giving them a call. Alien Computing 37919 50th St East Palmdale, CA 93550 (805) 947-1310 I use their Win3 driver to allow me to fax information from Excel and Winword.
