[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] FAX Modem / Hayes 2400 baud w/MNP5 ???

srm@dimacs.rutgers.edu (Scott R. Myers) (10/07/90)

I'm not sure this goes here but I'll give it a shot.  I want to know
if there is such a beast as a Fax(Send/Receive)9600baud/Hayes 2400baud
w/MNP5.  I've seen a Prometheus modem w/ all of the above plus
V.32/V.42 support.  I like those features but cost wise it's over
kill.  I would be interested if anyone has had any experience with the
Prometheus too.  I've seen a lot of Fax modems w/Hayes 2400baud
support but the key issue here is the MNP5.  Any help would be
appreciated.

Just out of curiousity I would like to know something about the
software that the fax boards use (how do they work, what graphic
formats do they except, can you scan directly to them,etc.).  Thanx.

EverFax faxmodem has mnp5. But doesn;t support high-res on the fax.

What is high-res support on a fax???  Screen output for incoming or
something to do with the way the images are transmitted???

High res support means it will be able to receive and transmit 300dpi
pages as opposed to 150dpi. So if you receive a page of fine text transmitted 
at high-res from the other side, with a low-res fax,
you may only see it in a grainy mode and
be able to print it out like that only even if you have a 300dpi laser
printer. 

I just found the perfect low-price fax card for $130 I got the
Micromatics fax card with highres and all features of most low-priced (300$)
fax cards. It works well. If you need one or more mail me and I;ll put
you in touch with the seller. The manufactureer is a co. in Fremont, CA
