SBS Fax Service - UK-available compatible modem

Wondering if anyone can help. We install SBS 2000 for
clients, and have numerous problems configuring the SBS
Fax service and it appears pretty unstable once
configured.

Reading through various newsgroups, it appears that the
problem can be fixed with a modem on the hardware
compatibility list. My challenge though is sourcing a
make/model for the UK, within the budget of a typical
small business, that is on the hardware compatibility
list.

I have really struggled to identify one from the list,
and would appreciate a recommendation of one that works -
especially grateful if you can supply manufacturer name,
model number and if you have it a link to their site.

Thanks in advance.

If you can get hold of a second hand usr robotics 56k external, no voice
features

works a treat at several sbs installations, where other modems have failed
!!

(no longer produced though)

Ian,

You may try looking at Ebay - there is currently a Brooktrout card bid at
£51.00. While I have not used these myself I understand thay they are the
"Rolls Royce" of fax boards.

We currently use an Eicon Diva 3.0 Pro card which seems to work OK although
has problems connecting to a few faxes, most notably if the recipient is
also using a computerised fax solution.

Best wishes,

Toby.

Martin - thanks for that - hope you can have a little
patience with a non-technical person such as myself - I'm
trying to help a couple of stressed engineers by trying
to source a solution while they are working off-site.

Be really grateful if you could recommend a model and/or
have a link to their site so I can find a local supplier.

Thanks in advance.
