I would like to know if there are any affordable fax machines that can
be connected to a PC, in order to double as a scanner?
(preferably serial port or SCSI interface, but plug-in-card would do as well)
Can anybody recommend (or advice against buying) some?
I would appreciate any info, since I don't really know where to look for more
info or a survey or something.

I, too, have been suddenly hit with a need to be able to send and receive fax's. I have an Epson Equity LT laptop, AST 286, and AT&T 3B1, any of which could serve as a fax box. Is it better to just go out and buy fax equipment separately? What do I need to send ascii files. What do I need to do to receive and print these. My printer is a Deskjet Plus. --

I have Intel's Connection CoProcessor which is probably one of the most popular faxboard for the ibm-pc and compatibles. It's a plug-in coprosessor card and takes one ibm-xt or -at expansion slot. It can send both faxes and mail and operates in background, however, it cannot be used as a modem with terminal programs. It supports the Intel's CAS spesification so there is lot of software for it. -- -- Vesa Vanhatupa Tampere University Of Technology Finland email: vv77076@cs.tut.fi
