- I've got the send-receive ZOOM Fax modem and it really performs well -- the
- faxes do indeed come out better than using a regular fax machine. The
- program does allow scheduled sends, maintains logs, saves fax-format files
- to disk, and just about everything else you'd want out of a basic fax
- machine. The program is a little klunky in places (some of the choices of
- wording in the pulldown menus don't really make sense, and they like to use
- "opposite wording" for on/off type things instead of check marks), but overall
- has proven to be a good buy. I got mine at Egghead for around $119, and got
- a $20 rebate back from Zoom -- they seem to run this offer regularly, so if
- you're not in a rush, sit tight and watch the paper.

- Good luck --
