- If I may...

- There is nothing inherent to GPFax that supports Voice Mail. However, if you
- have other Voice Mail software, I'm sure that you could convince GPFax to
- work in tandem with it for full Voice Mail / Fax support. GPFax has an
- "adaptive answer" mode which will allow voice calls through an external
- device, while still intercepting fax calls. This mode does not support data
- mode (ie BBS calls) but this may also be possible through some creative ARexx
- scripting.

- Bryan,
-
- Thanks for the feed back. This new Cardinal V.34 VoiceFax modem has worked
- flawlessly since I hooked it up. Priced well below that of a USR with less
- features and this comes with limited lifetime warranty and a customer FAX
- line with next day response. Haven't tried the support BBS or Voice tech
- support line. I checked it out to see if they knew anything
- about AMIGAs and compatibility with Amiga voice software. NOT!
-
- Easier than PC PnP to get going! Didn't have to change a
- thing on my present terminal config from the Supra 2400Plus V.42bis.
- Except for BAUD 9600 to 11500.
-
- Throughput is clocked at 11500 ARQ on AMUC BBS and carrier 28800. I thought
- I might have overrun problems that I see discussed elsewhere. Just thought
- it would be nice to get the Voice and Fax features up and running.
-
- I'm going to try using AVMnFax_133, since I don't have GPFax.
