If you can communicate with the modem through a terminal send it the ATI1 command to find out if it is a fax modem. Here is the result of my querying the modem through the kppp built in terminal; ATZ OK ATI1 Intel V92 Data Fax Voice OK If your modem does not have fax capabilities and your box has an ISA slot, I can supply an ISA modem with fax capabilities. As the highest fax speed is 14.4k, most old modems are capable of faxing. I played around with setting up a fax server using efax. I had some success but was not able to iron out the bumps sufficiently to deploy it. One minus against efax was the lack of a suitable windows client. Hylafax might be more suitable. The solution I eventually used was a multifunction network printer with fax capabilities built in. Voice; you are on your own. vgetty is where you might make a start. Cheers Ross Drummond
