I've got it working fine with my Dynalink 56k ... I think. Can't remember the last time anyone tried to fax me. My main computer lives in Newcastle but I'm on my laptop. If you want, try faxing me something below and I'll tell you if it worked when I get there Friday night/ Saturday morning. Number's below. The 5 minutes bit is to boot up the computer if it's turned off as I've got it set to wake on RING in the BIOS <grin>. -- ---<GRiP>--- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Answering Machine/fax: 02 4950 1194 (wait 5 mins if no answer) Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
