Does anybody out there know of, or even better, recommend a particular fax modem for the Macintosh ? I've used the AppleFax modem and was not particularly impressed (both before and after the ROM upgrades) ... also, if you happen to love a particular piece of related software (i.e. BackFax, etc.) I'd be interested in knowing.

The most recent MacWeek - 14th November - page 14 has an ad by Prometheus on their ProModem Data/Fax modem for $299. The picture show a modem hooked up to a Murata M1200 which printing out an incomming fax. The ad says MAcKnowledge is included and also mentions BackFAX but doesn't say BackFAX is included.

I also saw that - so I called them up and asked what I thought was rather a stupid question i.e. "can it RECEIVE fax?". The ad does not mention reception anywhere. The answer was "No, Sir, send only." Beats me why they would do this. I am still debating whether I want to have something that can send only. After all, if you fax something somewhere, they may want to fax back a reply. On the otehr hand, yes they do bundle MacKnowledge and BackFax, the latter having received rather favorable comments in MacUser, August (I think). Each can be bought for about $120.-, so the whole deal may be even worth it anyway; Prometheus' 2400bps modem sells for about $199.- anyway, and for $100.- extra you get fax-sending and some software (potentially useful if you do buy a receive-also fax card soon). Does anyone have this 1/2fax-modem and care to comment on it? Does anyone have other fax-modems and care to give us their impressions, what they wish they had, what they don't care for much?
