   I am new to this so could someone fill me in on what magazines review fax

The usual suspects such as PC Magazine, and Mac equivalents, will review
fax cards. Many office product or home business magazines will review
fax machines. Home Office Computing is an intersting hybrid magazine 
focussing on home business issues, with a technology twist. Computer
Shopper is good for occasional articles, and for finding mail order
vendors. All these magazines should  be available at any large 
bookstore; Home Office Computing is P O Box 53561, Boulder, CO 80322

Another resource is "Fax Buyer's Guide", an occasional special issue
which is part of "Computer Buyer's Guide", which is a monthly.  You 
can subscribe to the latter, or pick up copies of either at larger 
newsstands.  They are at 800-435-0715, $32 per year.

Another review mag I've seen is "Home and Office Fax Buyer's Guide",
twice a year, from Harris Publications, 1115 Broadway, NY NY 10010
Single copy $4.95

There are also books for fax buyers, which start out with an overview
of the technology and terminology, and have a few reviews. Obviously,
they won't be as current as magazines, but will give you more 
background. You'll find them in the business or computer sections
of large bookstores, esp. university bookstores. One that I bought is
"Fax for Home and Office", Casey Dworkin, Chilton Book Company, 
215-964-4000, 1989, $12.95
