- Dear Rob,
-
- I am using a US Robotics Sportster 14.400 FAX (US version) and it runs
- perfectly in Rotterdam. Transferrates > 1650 on compressed news etc.
-
- The DOS fax software also works flawlessly, even on international faxes.
-
- One minor point: it currently does not recognise the dial tone (it _does_
- recognise busy), just using ATX3 in stead of ATX4 solves this problem nicely.
-
- I ordered directly from the US, make sure you get a 220 Volt power supply!
-
- Een voorspoedig 1993!
