supplementary information may be helpful.

modem to send and receive faxes at 14,400 bps.
n Installing and loading fax communication software—

one fax application is installed, conflicts may occur
because all fax applications use similar files.

may disrupt other modem functions. If you experience
problems with the modem after installing your fax
application, the drive may need to be unloaded from
memory. Refer to the fax application documentation for
information about unloading the driver.
n Sending a Fax—

driver and prepares the modem to send the fax.
