I have utilized the fax modem with a Sparc Server 4/330.  It worked
well, and we had some pretty early software. We received an update
just as I was leaving my previous employer for new opportunities, so
I am not sure what the updates involved.

The system (with older software) was pretty smart, as well as flexible.
It seems to be aimed towards the Workstations, but includes a mail front 
end for those without workstations.  It utilizes X-windows (Open-look on 
my Sun) for some file manipulation.

I wrote a front end of my own that would check the databases and
such, include files, and allow composition from a menu.  The flexibility
of the Faxmodem product allowed me to customize the program nicely
since the Faxmodem's interface really is just "Unix mail".

Typical disclaimer, I am just a customer that liked the product
and the helpfulness of the people at Perfect Byte.  I will no
doubt buy another since I am at another company.  You can reach
Perfect Byte via email, something like "pbi.com".  Ask for a guy
named "Mike" ( a real neat name!).
