[comp.dcom.fax] FAX Modems and S/W for Interactive 386/ix UNIX

tague@well.sf.ca.us (Michael Tague) (04/20/91)

I would like to get a FAX modem and software for a 386 (PC) system running
Interactive UNIX.  I would interested in any recommendations/warnings for
these products.  Also, prices would be helpful!

I would like an external modem version, but would consider internal versions
(especially if the price is right).

I would also be interested in any tips anyone would have on how to convert
word processor output, Word Perfect or Microsoft Word, to electronic FAX and 
how this might relate on choosing a product

HP laser jet printers are capable of converting a text file into a image.  A
fax board is doing the same thing when you try to send a text file to it.
Some commercial products have the enhanced capability in converting files from
different sources including Word Perfect.  What the users have to do is simply
hit a "hot key" to bring up the TSR, specify who, where, and when to send the
fax, and there it goes.
