Figures - I was planning to take it back anyway.

Thanks!

Any recommendations for actual genuine, non-winmodem, CHEAP modems?

And, yes, I realize that this is OT - should have said so up front....

Thanks again.

I decided to give my lovely winmodem LT/Agere modem one more shot with the martian driver - it seems to work (at least as well as the conexant did), but, again, senfax can't find it as a 2 or
2.0 class fax, and efax dies with a segfault.

Is this at all possible (using it for a fax) or is it hopeless?

Thanks.

P.S.: I'm beginning to like eBay - had a wildly successful bid for a scanner for 1 cent plus shipping, and it works.

All the more reason to quit wasting your time
with that junk and go shopping for a USRobotics* Courier v.everything
-- external if you have a serial port available.* I notice that there
are several on ebay right now.* If it has no manual included, download
one from the mfr.

All external serial modems are real hardware modems.

But you can't tell which. It's a mystery. Even if someone tells you that
such-and-such model is a hardware modem, it could change in the box.

Getting an external serial modem is fool-proof.
