- This is not completely accurate... The original 24/96E was the EV967-00
- which was a proprietary Fax modem that came out BEFORE the 24/96D. The
- E suffix simply indicates External modem. The D suffix was used (poorly)
- to indicate that this was a Developers unit made for Unix people developing
- fax software. The 24/96D modem was originally EV968-51's. The current
- EV967-02 is a class 2 modem that replaces both the EV967-00 proprietary
- fax modem as well as the EV968-51 Developer's unit.
-
- However, You should still be careful when ordering this modem as some stores
- still appear to have EV967-00 in stock!
