Wow, I didin't even think about this - I wasn't thinking about faxing with ISDN - I didn't know you can do that.
ISDN even defined its own (and faster) FAX protocol but this never caught on.
I would still prefer an external thing that sits on a normal standard serial port...
An active ISDN card is a nice thing, *if* you need the processing power it offers. Otherwise it's much cheaper to just dig out the old 14400 modem and use that for faxing.
And BTW, DSL adaptor cards do most of the DSL stuff in software too :( That's sad. So do these work in linux?
Some manufacturers do offer drivers for their cards, but these are all binary-only. Philipp
