- The Boca I ordered from PC Connection has similar problems. It can send
- fax to other FaxModem and FaxMachine; it can receive incoming fax from
- Fax machine and from another Boca FaxModem, but it failed to receive
- fax sent from ZyXEL 1496E and from Everex FaxModem. (In the latter two
- cases, the software shows receiving fax successfully, but what I can
- read is only a page of bar code. We have tried QL2FAX and WinFax at
- both ends and got the same results.) I called PC Connection's technical
- support and they told me that they didn't know the answer. But they
- gave me a long distance number (not 800 number) for the technical
- support from Boca Research. When I called Boca technical support,
- they put me on hold for 15 minutes and no one come to answer my
- question. Now I have sent it back to PC Connection and they promise
- to refund the full price of the FaxModem plus the postage for sending
- it back to them. I paid the $5 shipping and handling cost.
