Two fax questions: I'm looking for an external fax device with a modem that would work via a serial port on a laptop. I've seen a number of devices advertised but not had much success finding any "test drives". Has anyone had any good experiences that they can share? How does the output compare with conventional facsimile machines? I intend to have this fax device connected to a line that will have several extensions plus an answering machine. What type of "fax-switcher" could I get that would stop the fax and the answering machine from answering the line if a voice call came in and I answered it from a different extension? Or does the fax-switcher only control extensions or answering machines which are connected to it? Thanks in advance for the help. bg
