Re: [hylafax-users] Fax modem (data rate vs fax rate)



Joe Hansen wrote:

I have a MT1932ZDX fax modem connected to my Redhat machine via a serial port. Its faxing 1.7 pages per minute on average (According to xferfaxstats). All the pages are in PDF format.

Question 1:
Is 1.7 pages per minute normal ?


For 14400 baud faxing, yes.


According to the MT1932ZDX specs, Data rate: 19.2 Kbps Fax rate: 14.4 Kbps

I have researched the new external modems available. Almost all of them have following specs:
Data rate : 56 Kbps
Fax rate: 14.4 Kbps


Question 2:
I am assuming that the data rate will not affect the speed at which the faxes are sent. Am I right?


Correct.


Question 3:
Would switching to a new modem would help increase the fax speed in anyway?


You could get a modem that supports V.34-Fax (SuperG3). That supports speeds up to 33600 baud. MultiTech and MainPine make such modems.
