Avoid low-cost modems
In general, we recommend to avoid using low-cost modems for faxing, since such modems are usually only tested for data and Internet connections and do not work very reliable in fax mode. Since a modem has do establish connections to hundrets of different fax machines, using low-cost modems often causes problems when connections to certain types of fax machines cannot be done.
