Hello Dave,
-> RG> I want to call it `Multi Pass' or Pass.  It
-> was advertised on tv for a while about 6-9 months ago.
-> Flipping thru the Elek-Tek catalog (800-395-1000)... it's a Canon
-> MultiPASS 1000 (it scans! faxes! copies! slices! dices! it has a
-> "melody" on hold!).  No data modem, though.  $800.
Thank you for the info Dave...$800 is about twice the amount I
considering payin for one of these gizmos (if it had suited my
needs and purpose)  I did grab the 800- number you posted.
-> Consider, though, whether when your fax goes into the shop to be
-> fixed, you want to lose your telephone, scanner, copy machine,
-> printer, and modem at the same time.  You're really putting all your
-> eggs into one basket with these things.  I personally believe that
-> separate devices are more reliable, easier to maintain, more
-> flexible, let you upgrade easier, and are cheaper in the long run.
Rght now I'm exploring the possibilities, availability, and functions
of SOHO equipment for two machines; a P120 and a Macintosh PowerPC.
(I have them both)  Both have USR faxmodems and the Mac has a
PaperPort, a b/w Laser and an Inkjet color printer connected via
electronic (software) switchbox.  Scanners are dropping in price as
are fax machines.  I'm using an old Murata termal paper fax/copier
that needs to be updated...plain paper would be nice.  I'm still
shopping and can get what I want thru Ingram Micro.  ...bussiness is
fine, it's all this dam*ed paperworkk!...
Thanks for your time & information, I appreciate it.
later bud...
Rick
