We have a few users wanting a low end solution to a similar problem.
They are considering a HP 282314. It's a $600 Laser
Printer/Scanner/Fax/Copier.
It doesn't claim to include a modem. But I wouldn't be surprised if one was
included
as part of a generic chipset. Someone would have to hack the printer
firmware to
abuse it. Has anyone taken a close look at this device.
