Hi Jason,
It has to be an IBM Proprinter X24E on LPT3 because this is the only
emulation that the Faxworks Lite program included with OS/2 has.  When
you go into the Faxworks configuration, the X24E is the only option
offered.  If you upgrade to the full version, then you get PCL
capability as well.  I just don't use a FAX program enough to justify
the additional expense, although the OCR capablility might be nice.
TTYL,
Stephen
