An earlier version of FAX software for the PK232 required a special dual 
RS232 cable that connected to a printer and all output was directed to the 
printer.
Later versions of the PK232 had FAX capabilities that went to the PC screen 
and could save the images for later printing if desired.
I don't know if that would work with an ATARI, however, so I must defer to 
your better knowledge of that system.
Thanks for the response!
Fred.
