Someone who I work with has a Trailblazer 9600 baud modem. Is it possible to get software which will enable it to function as a FAX modem, or do Fax modems have different protocols which prevent this from happening? In other words, could he buy, say, BackFax from Solutions, Inc. and have it work on his regular 9600 baud modem? Enquiring mimes want to know. -Owen owen@sunfs3.Camex.COM

That feature has never been added to the modem. The modem and fax machines wouldn't be able to achieve a connection. -- .------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Greg Andrews | UUCP: {apple,amdahl,claris}!netcom!gandrews | | | Internet: gandrews@netcom.COM | `------------------------------------------------------------------------'
