- I think Emulex might have what you're looking for. I'm about to start
- evaluating a single port print server called the 2501. It supports
- TCP/IP. Emulex provides a FAX Back capability on it's product line.
- You can call 800-EMULEX3 (800-368-5393) and respond to the prompts or
- call 714-662-5600 to talk to a Rep. I hope this helps.
