More information
If you already have a modem and are not sure whether it is compatible with Zetafax, then you can do the following to check.
Connect the device to one of your COM ports or configure it so that there is a COM port presented to the system.
Open Hyperterminal and choose to connect to the COM port directly.
You should now be able to communicate with the device directly using standard AT commands. The following command will report what classes the device supports.
AT+FCLASS=?
Result codes to this command will indicate what classes the device supports
