- Actually if you are using OS2 I would recommend personally PMFAX or
- Bitfax for OS2. These packages are both true OS2 applications and work
- great. I use PMFAX with a cheap zoltrix card and as far as I am concerned
- it greatly out performs the Satisfaxtion board at work running under DOS.
- It works great. Note you do not with most of the fax boards get 9600 text
- transfer, the high speed mode only works in the fax mode in most case.
