I'm using the Linuxant driver for this modem, of course. (Thank you muchly for that!) I notice however that under Windows XP the modem has fax capability but under Linux it doesn't. Can you give me some idea of when (or if) you'll be adding fax support to the D480 driver? Keep up the good work, folks; you're doing a Good Thing by making software modems behave themselves under Linux. 8^D Regards; Jonathan Lyster -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ ----- End forwarded message -----
