- I would say that CC had better try to upgrade their FaxPack to include
- modem capability as soon as possible, if their chipset permits it. With
- V32bis fax/modems costing as little as #250 these days, there seems little
- reason to buy a dedicated card for a higher cost and less ability. David
- Pilling's ArcFAX may not be as good as the CC software now, but his
- software tends to develop fairly quickly in the couple of months after
- release, as he gets feedback from users.
