Avoid low-cost modems
In general, we recommend to avoid using
low-cost modems for faxing, since such modems are usually
only tested for data and Internet connections and do not work very reliable in
fax mode. Since a modem has
do establish connections to hundrets of different fax machines, using low-cost modems often causes problems when
connections to certain types of fax machines cannot be done.
