subject: THINGS A SYSOP NEEDS OR N

KD>Right now, all 3 modems have FAX... Why?  I don't know... I don't use
KD>any FAX software, I don't have any of my modems setup in FAX mode
KD>either...
KD>My question is... If they can make a modem with FAX, why not one
KD>without it?
        There's no point...I don't think any non-fax support DSP's
        exist, and its a bigger pain to pull fax then to leave it
        available.  
KD>Would the difference in price be worth not having FAX?
        Nothing would be saved.  By the time the modem handles
        2400bps data and error correction, it will handle FAXes.
KD>For a Sysop, (and one that runs a multi-line, multi-computer BBS) FAX
KD>is not a issue... No one really needs it....   I'd like to see what
KD>others think about not having FAX in the SupraFAXmodem 28.8K
KD>externals...
        That depends on your needs.  Some systems that use independent
        nodes or sessions for each line can handle faxes on each, and
        in the case of a business board, it might be VERY cost effective
        to have one BBS/FAX pool.
