Brilliant !!

>From what I see at the site, this product looks very promising for my
use:

-- "HylaFAX is a telecommunication system for UNIX systems. It supports:
... transparent shared data use of the modem" which is exactly what I'm
looking for (data use);

-- "WHICH MODEMS CAN BE USED WITH HYLAFAX" the compatibility table shows
some USRobotics (now 3Com) modems, but none are recommended, so I will
look to buy a recommended modem instead;

-- "Download ... HylaFAX is freely available under copyright in complete
source form. ... Various binary packages are available for HylaFAX. They
are currently available in two places";
