Re: Speakerphone modem

Thanks Dave - I was hoping that I could find a modem that would work on a conventional line so I
can answer calls to the house, and send/receive faxes. So far I haven't found one, but I'll keep
looking. If you hear of one, will you post the info? Thanks.

I've used and had varying degrees of success from many brands of modems, but
I've always had good luck with US Robotics. They have a model 9610 that uses
Skype and will work with Win7 but does not rely on the OS to work. If you
want you can look at it here:

HTH,

I did some looking and as far as I can tell there are several brands
(Motorola, Samsung, Intel) of speakerphone modems but none of them are new
products. They are either used or New Old Stock (NOS), I saw several listed
on Amazon when I looked there. Evidently there isn't enough of a market now
to justify manufacturing modems with bells and whistles like they used to.
I did find there are several new speakerphone products that will work with a
(Voice Over Internet Protocol) VOIP cable modem, not sure about the FAX part
though. You can get all-in-one printers, some that aren't too expensive,
with FAX built in. Do you have cable service or is it possible for you to
get it?
