- The Complete Communicator works just fine. I have been using it here for
- FAX and Voice for some years. (It used to sell for about $700; now they
- have a modem upgrade that lets it do 9600bps, and call it the "Complete
- Communicator Gold".)
-
- If you want to try it, call it at 604 681-6659, but be aware that if I
- am in, I will probably answer the phone and you will have to call again.
-
- The way it is set up is for a "default to FAX". What that means is, if the
- voice caller doesn't have a TT fone, he will get the FAXmodem.
-
- If you do have a TT fone, the system will tell you to "hit any key, NOW",
- which then drops you to the voice-mail system. (A remote FAX machine
- doesn't understand the voice, so it waits and within 20sec gets a FAX tone.)
-
- To be able to get to the Data modem, the remote caller would have to
- hit a code to do that. (Or, you could set it up to default to the Data
- modem, or to default to voice.)
-
- If there is anything else I can explain about it, please don't hesitate
- to ask... and NO, I don't sell them... just ZyXEL and Telebit and EPROM
- programmers, to help support the free aspect of this site.
