- I have a Zoom v.32bis which came with QuickLink II. I have had no
- problems with the modem, but the software leaves much to be desired. My
- main problem is with the user interface; for example, there's no way to
- import a mail list (or export it, for that matter); there's no way to
- view a document and then rotate it 90 degrees (for when someone sends a
- wide document sideways through the originating fax); and the
- software/hardware combination pretty much requires the Mac to be
- unburdened with other work or the faxes hang up on each other.
-
- To be fair, I've heard that the other fax software available for Macs
- isn't any better. If this isn't the case, I'd really like to know, too!
