RB>>>> Modem manufacturers got smart and included a Fax with a
modem years 

 GS> ago

 RB>>>> but to this day they have not come up with a foolproof
way of having

 RB>>>> the unit answer in either fax mode, Data mode or allow
a voice call

 RB>>>> answer gracefully.



 GS>>> Which modem comes closed to this triple functionality?



 RB>> Supra modems have been the only ones that I know of, so far.

 RB>> They have their own silent answer features, still not foolproof.



 RB>> And one model netcom comes with a built in fax switch (half way there)



 RB>> There is also another Netcomm Voice/fax/modem that is fairly close,

 RB>> but still with reliability problems.





 GS> Thanks for the info Russell.  :-)



 GS> I am going to buy another modem around Christmas time

 GS> and hopefully there is going to be some progress in this direction.



 GS> Currently I am using a Dynalink 33.6k and sometimes a Netcom 14.4k modem.

 GS> I am going to start monitoring the Supra echo from now on.



 GS> Are Supra modems available in Australia or would I have to import it 

 GS> myself

 GS> from the US?



I had to import some from the US myself at one stage (1995) but I understand

that some ofthe lower end models are available in Aust. (Melbourne) now.



I went for the full featured ones (top of the range) and I think that you would

have to import them yourself still.
