- The Digicom Scout+ supports V.29 at 9600 bps as the fastest
- fax speed. Although the code is available for faster speeds
- it was not implemented in the present version. The vast majority
- of fax machines today do not support faster speeds than 9600 bps,
- including such high end products as the HP-FAX 310. So it seems
- that this feature is really not useful yet. This may change in the
- future, but so may the ROMs.
-
- Try faxing with 200 times 200 resolution a couple times, and soon
- you'll get calls which fax machine you are using. The output is really
- quite crisp and sometimes comparable to laser printer quality.
-
- One page together with coverpage takes about 60 seconds of telephone
- time to Europe. Thats $1.14 (first minutes are more expensive than
- additional minutes). Airmail is $0.50 and lasts a week..

- : Under UNIX I want to use it with kermit. I have heard
- : that there are problems in this department. Is that
- : true?
-
- : I would prefer an e-mail ....
-
- : Thank you.
