- Actually the compatability of a fax-modem is not a function of the hardware
- but of the software. My fax-modem works fine under OS/2 with some fax
- software but the fax software that came with it locked up under OS/2 every
- once in a while.
-
- Before ordering, find out if the software is OS/2 compatible. Try to get
- Win-Fax.
