[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] Request info on FAX cards

demillo@porter.geo.brown.edu (Rob DeMillo) (04/30/91)

I have an AT bus, 386 SX machine and I am looking to 
buy a FAX card for it that will allow me to send/receive
from group III fax machines. I'd like some suggestions/
recommendations from those of you that have played with 
one or two of these beasts...

Prerequisites are that it has to send/receive group III
FAX, run in the background (i.e. receive FAXes while I am
doing other things on my machine), produce reasonable results
in a reasonable format that I can look at with Word for Windows
or some other method, and it should come with some useful software.
It would also be great (tho not required) if the software ran under
Window 3.00.

The FAX card that I am leaning towards is The Complete FAX, from
The COmplete PC Company. It covers all the prerequisites, but does
not run under windows. (Well, it runs in a shell window, of course.)
Does anyone know any pros/cons to this system? Know any better ones?
(I have seen the Complete FAX for as low as $129 for mail order.)

I am looking to buy soon, so any advise would be appreciated. 
Please mail your responses to either of the e-mail addresses
below...if there is enough interest, I'll post the results.
(Also, if this has been talked about before, my apologies.)

Thanks

-- Rob
