Best modem(s) for faxing

[imported_bajan]

I've just finished building a server for a client and now i need to find a good modem for receiving faxes for them. They receive, on average, about 75 - 100 faxes per day so it's important that i get a modem that works properly.

I've tried a cheap Cnet modem for this in the past and it never worked properly (surprise surprise), so i was wondering if anyone else knows which modems/chipsets are good for faxing.

Thanks,
baj

Years ago, a former employer of mine used stacks of U.S. Robotics Courier modems for inbound/outbound fax processing with very good results.

I highly recommend checking with the manufacturer of your fax board and/or software to see what they suggest using.

"...RECOMMENDATIONS -- Modems -- For general use, buy an external V.90 or V.92 controller-based modem. If you want the best modem available, bar none, buy the $250 U.S. Robotics Courier 56K V.92 Business Modem, which can establish and maintain connections under line conditions so bad that other modems don?t even attempt to connect. For a less expensive but still excellent external modem, buy the $50 U.S. Robotics USR5633A 56K USB Faxmodem. If for some reason you must have an internal modem, choose the $35 U.S. Robotics USR5699B 56K V.92 Internal Faxmodem PCI. Avoid internal modems, whether they are controllerbased or controllerless. Avoid no-name modems of any description..." LINK
