- It is not really the modem / Fax modem that you need to worry about it is the
- software that comes with it. One of the most ppular pieces of bundeled software
- ( by popular I mean most regularly seen ) is QL2FAX. This dosen't seem to like
- working with OS/2.
-
- I junked my copy and payed for BitFax for OS/2. This software works very well
- and I can recommend it highly. I have no association with either bit software
- who publish this product OR the Keller group who actually wrote it. The other
- OS/2 product commonly used is PMFAX which is the same product with drivers for a
- few more boards and a $50 higher price tag.
