- Has anyone tried the $80 fax/modem offered with the MacInTax upgrade?
-
- I posted a query (included below) about this on comp.sys.mac.comm.
- Since there are so many MacinTax upgraders on this group, perhaps
- someone here can comment on the fax/modem hardware or software? Is it
- worth getting, or does it work as badly as MacinTax itself? Followups
- are directed to comp.sys.mac.comm, where I posted the original query.
- Any & all information appreciated. thanks, Margot

- Subject: $80 fax/modem? (SmartOne 9624FX Mac, QuickLink; Macintax Offer)
-
- I'd like to know if the $80 fax/modem offered with MacinTax upgrades
- is worth it? It is a Best Products SmartOne 9624FX for the Mac, with
- QuickLink software (couldn't get them to tell me which version). Does
- anyone have any comments or experience with this hardware? Suggestions
- for preferable products in the same price range?
- (Detailed specs at the end of this message).
-
- Is QuickLink plus whatever else it has a reasonable software interface?
- (they claim it can work with any other fax/modem software so are there
- suggestions for alternative software I should obtain instead?).
-
- If this has been discussed in the past, pointers to back messages or
- FAQ appreciated. Thanks for any info.
