Re: [hylafax-users] Most recommend modem?

[Jason McMunn <mcmunn@mcmunn.com>]

Well, i'm setting up a web-> fax gateway taking online orders for some
people that don't understand the web.  So basically I need to talk to as
many fax machines as I can across the board, and as well as I can... They
need to receive as crisp/clean image as they possibly can.

Also, i'm probably going to be eating the long distance, so if there are
some faster faxes out there, it'd be silly so save a few bucks now to pay
a lot later.

I like the external because I use FreeBSD and the internals didn't work
with it. I could switch to linux, i suppose, but if i can get what i want
from the external, i'd be happier.

Honestly, I'm completely open to any feedback you have. I'm trying to read
and learn as much as I can as fast as I can, but I'm sure i'm coming
across as a retard.

Thanks!
