> What client do your use?  whfc or Ceaphus?

   Both. Whfc has a nasty habit of placing the SAME customer name on all
broadcast faxes! (opps!) Needless to say, that's an underisable effect. :-) So
until I can figure out another workaround, they fax everything singlely!

   I'm testing Ceaphus and it's got a really bad habit of going through the
paces just fine but saying job ZERO (0) has been submitted. Needless to say,
the fax job went into digital oblivion. I still have not figured out what's
grong with it.

> I like Multitech modems for faxing.

   Been a long time since I've messed with Multitech modems but do recall they
worked darn well. I personally prefered Microcom modems back in the "bbs"
days. They had killer deals for sysops who used thier modems. I ended up being
one of the first 28.8K modems on my block (and my local Fidonet node for that
matter)! :-) The last I heard those Microcoms were STILL in service today
pulling Fidonet mail.
