- I'd like to know what capabilities the ISDN eXTender has on
- regular phone lines. What little literature I've seen claims fax,
- etc. Unfortunately, there's no mention of non-ISDN capabilities
- (v.32 and all those other modem standards). Will the ISDN
- eXTender be able to act as a modem? If so, what speed? I'm not
- spending any money until I find out.
