Simon,
SG>Forgive my ignorance...what's a POTS line? Is this the same as an analogue
SG>landline?
Yes, it's an acronym for Plain Old Telephone System. There's a utility
with Synchronet BBS software called Sexpots. It sounds kinky (dirty old
Sysops need love, too (but they also need more showers ), but it's an
acronym for Synchronet External Plain Old Telephone System. It allows
dial-up callers to logon to a telnet BBS.
Originally when I was dial-up only, under GT Power, and part of
FIDONet, I first used FrontDoor as the frontend, then InterMail. I was
able to integrate BGFAX into it to get both dial-up callers and faxes.
At least with BGFAX, there were no junk faxes, and waste of paper. If I
didn't care for the incoming fax, I just zapped the file.
As noted, most analog lines are being converted to digital (VoIP),
which don't do so good with the fax modems. I had a utility with the US
Robotics 56K v.92 fax modem, but I never got it to work right on the
MagicJack Plus line, so I quit using it...and am letting that line
expire in December. If I need to send a fax, I go to the local FedEx in
west Little Rock.
