If I'm going to have trouble with modems, I guess I should assume I'm going to have problems with fax machines and such as well? I really made a bad assumption on this one I guessed. So you thing I would have trouble with any analog device that is transmitting data? Does anyone have any good experience with a setup that doesn't require a PRI or POTS lines. I guess I'm trying to do the impossible here.
