No. Even if you look at all the "professional" ISDN solutions, a decent modem will always be better. I got faxes from AVM, Ferrai Fax and other software but no one is as good as some modem based solution. If you want to use ISDN, just send the file as PDF ,-) BTW: Back in the old NeXT days we made TurboFax that uses the NeXT Window Server to convert the print output to g3 and send it with sendfax. That gave us a PostScript Level 2 Fax. --- _ _ _(_)(_)_ David Wetzel, Turbocat's Development, (_) __ (_) Buchhorster Strasse 23, D-16567 Muehlenbeck/Berlin, FRG, _/ \_ Fax +49 33056 82835 NeXTmail dave@turbocat.de (______) http://www.turbocat.de/ DEVELOPMENT * CONSULTING * ADMINISTRATION To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
