Subject line says it: I'm looking for a compatible fax modem for a Dell
8300 with Ubuntu. The machine has a Winmodem that isn't supported for
Linux.
I'd like to avoid as much hassle as possible; my research indicates that
this means I want a Hayes compatible with fax support. I'd kind of
prefer USB 'cause then I can drag it upstairs and let my wife use it on
her Vista-"powered" laptop, but the important thing is that it works
with sane/XSane with a minimum of hassle.
It looks like Fry's has some Hayes-compatible USB fax modems for around
$45/ea; I assume anything that claims Hayes compatibility will work.
Any other suggestions? (cheaper would be nice).
Any known pitfalls?
Thanks.
