Hi Severin, As far as I’m aware Apple dropped support for fax modems in Sierra.
You could try ZOOM supports perhaps? <http://www.zoomtel.com/techsupport/index.html <http://www.zoomtel.com/techsupport/index.html>> Or - There is a way but you will not like it. 1. Download Virtual Box (free) or Purchase VMWare Fusion (preferred) or Parallels and install. 2. Obtain a legal version of Windows 10 or Windows 7 and install with above. It still supports Faxing 3. Download & install the proper Windows driver for your fax modem from the manufactures website while in Windows. 4. Restart Windows. 5. Configure your fax modem for Windows in your virtual software prefs. 6. Go to Run; Type WFS and Enter. 7. Configure WFS for your fax modem which should now be recognized. 8. Install a Coversheet if you wish. Now you are configured to send faxes from Windows on your Mac. I did mention “You will NOT like the above suggestion” ;-)) Cheers, Ronni 13-inch MacBook Air (April 2014) 1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost to 3.3GHz 8GB 1600MHz LPDDR3 SDRAM 512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage macOS Sierra 10.12.2 > On 3 Jan 2017, at 9:13 am, Severin Crisp <[email protected]> wrote: > > I have a ZOOM USB modem which I have used for years for the very occasional > outgoing faxes that have been needed.
