Re: [hylafax-users] Cheap modem work with Linux + Hylafax
True
enough. And good advice that extends far beyond buying modems for
HylaFAX. My hylafax modem shopping advice is as
follows:
1. Read the Modems page at
hylafax.org
2. Read the hylafax-users maillist
archive.
3. Decide that a Multi-Tech modem is probably the
best bet, and that a USR modem is probably not.
4. Shop at EBay, buy two or three used ones
cheaper than 1 new one
There is no reason the OP has to settle for a second
rate modem when he can easily buy a top rated one for much less than his stated
budget. Especially if he doesn't mind buying
used.

Something I can talk about with some authority.
The big thing I have found when dealing with cheap modems is the chipset
of the modem. I would do your research on the mail archive on it before
buying. I do forewarn you that you will have problems but sometimes you
can get lucky. I am of course presuming your talking an external
hardware modem. Remember you get what you pay for. You'll either
pay for it up-front or in labor. Happy hunting.
