- Supra claims their hardware works, but no one with whom I have corresponded
- knows of any software that will work with the Supra for the purpose of
- auto-detection of incoming fax or data calls.
-
- I own a ZyXEL 1496E+, which I run under DOS 5.00, and ZyXEL's software
- allows me to receive fax or data automatically on the same line. Under
- other OS platforms, you might have to write/modify your fax software to
- work.
-
- Wish I could tell you more. Bottom line, my ZyXEL can distinguish
- between fax and data, and the software ZyXEL includes works under DOS.
