I remain unclear about some very elementary issues after doing some
online searching. My aim is a simple low cost facility to send and
receive faxes in very low volume.
I suppose a simple setup would be a fax modem, either an external
modem connected to the serial port or a fax-modem card (generally if
not a win-modem) in a PC slot. The modem can be accessed by
server-client fax software, of which I gather mgetty is pretty
standard.
For incoming faxes, the fax-modem must obviously discriminate between
analog voice and digital fax so that the phone rings with an incoming
voice message and does not with a fax. Can I assume this capability is now
present in all fax-modems, whether an external modem or an internal
card?
I assume the hardware hookup for an external fax modem would be:
-> DSL adapter
RJ11 on wall -> DSL filter | -> phone
-> fax-modem |
-> computer serial port
