If you have Snow Leopard, you're in luck with FAX software, but sadly anything newer than that, and you're going to have a problem. The USB modem Apple made isn't supported in Lion and Mountain Lion - no drivers. For one of my businesses, I still do run Snow Leopard [actually on all my producton machines, as there's still too many issues with 10.7/10.8 for me to use with the software I need to use], and use the great FAX program by Smile Software: PageSender - http://smilesoftware.com/PageSender but sadly it is no longer available, but it runs great on 10.6 and you might want to e.mail them to get a trial and pay the $40 if you like it. It is much better than the built in faxing in Snow Leopard, as it has an in/out box, supports scheduled faxes, etc. For voicemail, I used an Amiga for the longest time and a GVP PhonePak: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=637 Later I played with similar software [no extra hardware other than a fax/modem was needed] for a Mac clone. This eBay listing shows details about it: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hotfax-Message-Center-Pro-1-0-MAC-CD-fax-utility-suite-/280411129900 I'd love to know about a voicemail solution for Mac OS X though. I'd use it in a heartbeat on the system I use for FAXing [faxing is a lot more common than Apple likes to think it is, sadly :( ]. /vjl/ _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
